What is a Workplace Needs Assessment?
A Workplace Needs Assessment helps employers understand what may be getting in the way of an employee performing at their best and what can be done to help.
The specialist vocational assessment looks at the employee's role, working environment, routines, and workplace experience to identify barriers and provide practical recommendations that support performance, wellbeing, and long-term success at work.
The assessment can be particularly valuable when an employee has a disability, health condition, neurodivergent diagnosis, or is experiencing challenges that are affecting their performance at work. The Workplace Needs Assessment provides employers with independent, expert advice to help inform decisions and workplace support and adjustments.
A Workplace Needs Assessment can be commissioned by employers, HR teams, occupational health providers, insurers, solicitors, case managers, and Access to Work providers.
