  • Reduce Turnover-- Increase Retention & Engagement

    Turnover costs companies millions! Selecting people who fit the job is key. You must assure that s/he has the cognitive ability, behavioral traits and the passion for the job. The PXT Select can measure the person's fit to a performance model designed for each job in your company. Employees who fit the job and the company culture are more engaged and stay with the company longer.

    Entry level turnover can be dramatically reduced by using our Step One Survey that provides data on personal and job history, and indicators of reliability, honesty, work ethic and attitude toard drugs. These are the "employability characteristics" that are most predictive of turnover potential. Imagine a stable workforce!
