The Merchants Challenge--Businesses Can't Lose: Merchants Will Reduce Workers Comp by 60% or Mutually Agreed Upon Amount Via the Merchants Pre-employment Integrity Test or Fees Are Returned!
After delivering over 4 million Merchants Pre-employment Integrity Tests and achieving average workers' compensation savings of 60% for large employer-clients, results from a recent Cornell University study on pre-employment integrity testing shows an 846% ROI for employers who use the Merchants Pre-Employment Integrity Test, further supporting what Merchants clients have known and enjoyed for over 30 years. Merchants' successes for employers with its integrity test have been so consistent that the company has instituted the "can't-lose" Merchants Challenge which reimburses a client's fees if Merchants doesn't achieve mutually agreed upon workers compensation savings*.
"Cornell University's independent research associated with driving down workers comp rates via integrity testing is proving—again—that the basis of Merchants Pre-employment Integrity Test is powerfully effective and pays back employers with huge returns. This is the second Cornell study that unequivocally validates the financial benefits of testing prospective employees for integrity and hits squarely with our in-marketplace client data that includes an average savings of 60% in workers compensation rates," said Russ Johnson, Merchants CEO.
Besides eliminating potential high-risk employees, who are very likely workers comp claimants, the Merchants Pre-employment Integrity Test reduces the hiring of job candidates who are likely to: steal, display hostile and harassing behaviors, use excessive sick days and who will add to the unemployment payouts by companies and agencies. Merchants Pre-employment Integrity Test is both validated and non-discriminatory exceeding compliance requirements and job applicant test results are emailed to hiring decision-makers instantly for online users.
Merchants Pre-Employment Integrity Test is based on cognitive dissonance--the justifying of high-risk behaviors by individuals. The Merchants Pre-employment Integrity Test has been in use for 30+ years, takes 15 minutes or less to administer and is available 24/7 in 21 languages. The simple turn-key implementation of the Merchants Pre-employment Integrity Test among human resource or other employees engaged in the hiring process includes training that takes less than an hour.
