Needs Assessments
Needs Assessments
Introduction
Our experienced workplace assessors deliver needs assessments for employees and employers to build an accurate picture of an individual’s disability and how it affects job performance.
The nature of the workplace health needs assessments are appropriate to the disability in question whether it involves a learning challenge such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, neurodiverse conditions, hearing loss or visual impairments.

Giving Employees the Support They Need
Employers have an obligation to make reasonable adjustments to the workplace to enable employees with disabilities to do their jobs. This can involve changes such as adaptations to the working environment, assistive technology provision, amendments to work schedules or extra training.
The important part of this process is identifying the correct support measures for individuals based on their unique situations. ToHealth’s workplace needs assessments are an ideal way to ensure employees get the focused help they need to improve workplace health and wellbeing.
Why do employers need to make reasonable adjustments?
Section 20 of the Equality Act 2010 imposes a legal duty on employers in the UK to address workplace realities which place disabled people at a disadvantage compared to people who are not disabled. Our workplace needs assessments identify those disadvantages and offer suggestions for worthwhile change.
