Reduce employee absenteeism in the workplace and hire reliable employees with Profiles International

Is there anything that frustrates employers more than employees who fail to report for work? Organizations with high absenteeism and employee reliability issues cannot function efficiently.

An absence refers to time an employee is not on the job during scheduled working hours, except for a granted leave of absence, holiday, or vacation time.

Profiles Step One Survey II, our unique pre employment screening assessment, identifies job applicants who will be consistently reliable employees. When you add the Step One Survey II to your employee selection process, you have much more critical information with which to make better hiring decisions. With this pre employment screening assessment, you will hire significantly more honest, dependable, hard-working, and drug-free employees. The Step One Survey II helps you populate your organization with reliable employees who will make gains in productivity, improved company morale, and increased profits.

To calculate your organization’s absenteeism rate we suggest this formula:

a. Number of Employees in the Company or Department:	100
b. Average Monthly Salary per person (or expected pay):	$3,200
c. Benefits (estimated 35% of monthly salary):	$1,120
d. Total Monthly Compensation:	$4,320
e. Average number of workdays missed in the month:	4

Total Cost of Absenteeism Annually:	$691,200
Average Cost of Absenteeism Per Day:	$1,899

Pre employment screening is a vital component of a successful employee selection system. Profiles Step One Survey II helps you screen for reliable employees early in your selection process.

Client Comments

"Step One Survey II has proved to be a useful tool in gauging employee work ethic, integrity and propensity to abuse substances or have problems showing up to work. We use the test as part of the interview process. The face-to-face interview, reference checks and Step One test all play equal roles in determining the success of a candidate. We have determined that Step One is very accurate in identifying potential problem areas."

- Margo Stewart, Human Resources Manager

"I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how delighted we are with the Step One Survey. After interviewing over a dozen applicants we found the Step One Survey to be a useful inexpensive tool to help us screen applicants. The survey is beneficial for asking all the questions we should have and then suggesting follow up questions in areas that need more explanation."

- Ed Boerman, President

"Our company uses all the assessments. We want to know if applicants are knowledgeable in their trade. The results are key in helping us determine whether to offer a job. Your products are good."
