The manufacturing industry represents a prime example of the benefits gleaned through preemployment screening. “We have seen in manufacturing, in particular, pre-employment screening is conducted in an effort to reduce turnover and help quality oriented organizations remain safe and productive,” adds Kearney .

In fact according to the National Association of Manufacturers, 83% of U.S. manufacturers cannot find enough skilled workers to remain productive, with more than 80% reporting a “moderate or severe shortage” of machinists, operators, craft workers, distributors, technicians and other workers. This labor shortage – combined with extensive state and federal government regulations, high employee turnover and increased competition in low-cost countries – is forcing manufacturers to focus more heavily on effectively managing the hiring process in order to ensure efficient, productive operations.

“Today’s manufacturing market demands tight margins, product innovation, and fast production timelines. In order to accomplish these objectives, employers need to make sure they’re hiring physically fit, team players who are honest and experienced. Best fit employees are people who are invested in the success of the organization,” said Tom Carroll , Division of Industrial Accidents , Commonwealth of Massachusetts,  “We recommend SCREEN SMART'S.
