Employability EvaluationsMany legal situations arise that ask the question "How much can this individual earn in today's labor market?" That question requires a tremendous amount of knowledge, research and assessment of the individual's skills, abilities and background, geographical areas, career fields, competitiveness, motivation, network, labor market conditions, specific employers' requirements, turnover rates, etc. Employability Evaluations are complicated, but given the needs of the legal community, we must and we do deliver our answers efficiently, comprehensively and quickly. Here is the process: The integrity of our "vocational diagnosis" in an Employability Evaluation depends upon the quality of the information we can obtain about the individual's work history, educational background, special skills, abilities, work and volunteer experiences, daily activities, and physical and emotional limitations, if any. We always strive to have a personal one-on-one meeting with the individual being assessed. If we are restricted from a personal meeting due to the case's legal implications, then we can provide extensive vocational Deposition Questions to obtain the required background information. We translate the individual's vocational background into transferable skills; the direct link into identifying other jobs and careers the individual could perform. In-house, Workforce Dynamics has extensive labor market and employer resources that provide information about labor market conditions, job demands, job duties and requirements and wage ranges. To find prevailing wages, benefits, current openings, wage-earnings potential and employability we place direct telephone calls to local employers. Our Employability Evaluations are fair-minded, comprehensive, objective and credible and make a strong statement in a courtroom or settlement conference with written reporting and/or oral testimony.
