Employers who screen applicants prior to employment have more productive workforces with higher quality employees, reduced turn over and better safety ratings. Pre-Employment screening also reduces exposure to liability related to workplace violence and resulting negligent hiring/retention claims; lower healthcare and worker compensation costs; and promotes a safer working environment.
