Case Study: Leading Emergency Services Provider achieves 76.7% fewer workers' compensation claims and 19.8% fewer sick leave hours with Criteria Corp

Emergency Services Provider reduces sick days and compensation claims

An emergency services provider that handles high applicant volume and fills roles requiring rapid decision-making and strong emotional control needed a more time- and cost-efficient hiring process that would still identify safe, reliable hires and reduce stress-related absences and safety risks.

By adding a Workplace Safety Profile, Cognitive Ability, Integrity, and Emotional Intelligence assessments to their recruitment for permanent roles, the employer cut average sick leave from 50.9 to 40.8 hours per year (a 19.8% reduction) and reduced workers’ compensation claims from 66.5% to 13.8% (a 76.7% reduction); both outcomes were statistically significant (p<0.001).
