Objective:
To quantify the cost benefits associated with Post-Offer Employment Testing (POET).
Methods:
Cross-sectional analysis of 5 million individuals/480 million medical, prescription, absence, short- and long-term disability, property and casualty and workers' compensation claims. Individuals who received POET were statistically matched by company, position, age, and gender to candidates who did not.
Results:
Significant injury reduction rates and integrated benefits cost savings were found in the cohort screened by POET.
Conclusion:
POET is an effective tool for the employer to manage health, disability, motor vehicle crash, at-work injury costs, and reduce turnover.
