Case Study: Global Manufacturing Company achieves 50% reduction in turnover and 75% reduction in absenteeism with Talogy's SecureFit

Reducing Turnover and Absenteeism to Increase Bottom Line

Select International, a provider of validated pre-employment assessments with more than 20 years’ experience in the manufacturing and industrial space, faced the costly problem of hourly worker turnover and absenteeism—replacement costs average about $14,000 per employee and absenteeism can cost hundreds to thousands per day. Research shows turnover risk can be predicted by traits like low conscientiousness, unstable work history and poor fit, so the challenge was to identify high-risk applicants before hire.

Their SecureFit® assessment, built from 15 years of data on over 6 million applicants, evaluates seven risk factors and produces a Turnover Risk Index for physical hourly roles. In a study of 730 candidates, Not Recommended (NR) applicants were far more likely to have unexcused absences (50% NR vs. 16% Strongly Recommended) and prior terminations (18% NR vs. 5% SR); screening out NR candidates could cut involuntary turnover by ~30%. Select reports SecureFit can reduce turnover by 50% and absenteeism by 75%, delivering measurable bottom-line savings.
