New Hire Physical Capability Assessments

A healthy workforce is a more cost-effective workforce. DataFit partners with employers to match new hire candidates with available jobs to help them develop a safer and healthier workforce.

WHY NEW HIRE ASSESSMENTS MATTER

A bad hire is a costly mistake for employers. DataFit’s New Hire Physical Capability Assessments allow employers to take control of their hiring needs and enjoy the following benefits.

  • Risk Mitigation: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) cost businesses between $45-54 billion a year. New hire evaluations objectively match people to jobs they can perform to minimize injuries from day one.

  • Employee Efficiency: Healthier employees are more effective employees. By limiting the odds of ergonomic injuries, employees can operate at their peak physical performance.

  • ROI & Cost Savings: Prevention is more cost-effective than treatment. DataFit drives ROI by reducing medical claims, pharmacy, and workers’ compensation. Indirect savings are obtained through a reduction in absenteeism and turnover, unlike Functional Capacity Evaluations that tend to “pass” every new hire candidate.

  • Flexible Scheduling: DataFit can handle high-volume evaluations using mobile units at an employer’s designated location or at hundreds of convenient locations through our nationwide provider network.

  • Employer-Controlled Criteria: Employers calibrate their own tolerance for legal challenges, hiring needs, and ROI provided they are in compliance with Department of Labor guidelines.

  • Analysis: Once assessments are complete, objective, data-driven reports are delivered in less than 24 hours to provide employers with the necessary information to make their hiring decisions.
