Introduction

In today’s workplace, employers have a responsibility to provide safe and productive environments for their employees. 

However, there are many factors that can impact an employee’s ability to perform the essential functions of their jobs to the level of productivity and performance needed.

Factors impeding one’s abilities to perform may range from physical limitations and cognitive impairments following illness and injury, hostile work environments with micromanaging bosses and bullying co-workers, and troubled lives bleeding over into work. That’s where an Expert Witness can be a life-saver for evaluating the impact of these disruptive factors turn lives around.

Expert Witnesses are professionals with specialized knowledge and training with subject matter expertise who are equipped to provide objective and informed assessments. 

By offering expert witness assessments, employers and their legal counsel are afforded an opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to providing safe, fair, and productive workplaces for all employees. These assessments help reduce the risk of workplace accidents and injuries, curb complaints for discriminatory, harassing and hostile work environments, while fostering and promoting psychological safety for enhanced productivity and performance.
