Helpful Tips: Hiring Safe Employees
February 15, 2018
In a new year with the prospect of hiring new employees, think about hiring safe employees. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that workers with one year or less experience represent 25 percent of the workplace and account for 34 percent of the workplace and 34 percent of injury-related lost time. The use of prescreening tools provides vital insight to ensure you know the most about a potential new employee. Some helpful pre-screening tools include:
Verify references and work history
- Criminal record check
- Background check
- Personality test
Additional tests which can be administered after extending a job offer include:
- Alcohol, substance or medical abuse test
- Workers' compensation background test
Using these pre-screening tools, along with an extensive and thorough interview process, will help you choose a qualified candidate for the job.
