On this episode of Ideas From Your Peers, we delve into the world of pre-employment screening and workplace injury prevention. Our guest today is Tom Aune, who used to own physio clinics on the New South Wales central coast, and shares his journey towards developing a data-driven approach to pre-employment screening that has led to a significant reduction in workplace injuries and staff turnover. 

We explore the evolution of the traditional paper-based questionnaire to a musculoskeletal pre-employment questionnaire with a psychometric and behavioural assessment tool, designed by the guest's company, called the Advanced Risk Profiler. 

We learn about the powerful risk profiling tool that the company has built from over 132,000 data sets, leading to the development of a triage model that saves time and money for recruiters. 

We discuss the advantages of online assessments for applicants and clients alike, and we hear compelling case studies about the significant cost savings and logistical benefits of using Suremploy for workers' compensation claims. Tom believes that data will play an important role in the future of not just pre-employment but also productivity and injury management, and shares numerous testimonials and case studies that validate their data-driven approach. Tune in to gain valuable insights into evidence-based and data-driven approaches to pre-employment screening and injury prevention.
