Sometimes a medical professional can identify potential illnesses or chronic conditions that may prevent a person from doing their job properly before they start working. Pre-employment physicals exams can be very important for people with chronic conditions, as they can indicate whether the current treatment regimen is working.A pre-work physical exam can provide you and your employee with basic information.
