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 TESTING MATTERS
A bad hire can be a costly mistake for employers. DataFit’s new hire 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 $250 billion a year in the US annually. 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 traditional testing methods that tend to “pass” every new hire candidate.
