INTEGRITY, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, RELIABILITY,
WORK ETHIC... KNOW ABOUT THESE BEFORE HIRING SOMEONE! The Step One Survey II® is a pre-employment job assessment tool for pre-screening Medical Professional Applicants. It provides health care organizations a structured, pre-employment job interview process and job attitude assessment to help you identify the best candidates for positions in all areas of your medical organization. The Step One Survey II® (SOS II) evaluates job applicants attitudes in the key areas of integrity, substance abuse, reliability, and work ethic - before the expense of hiring and training them. That information, along with specific interview questions, are provided in the Step One Survey II® job assessment report. It only takes about 20 minutes for the applicant to complete the job assessment, and the report is back to you within moments of its completion. The SOS II is available in English, Spanish and French Canadian. It is normally completed over the Internet, but is also available in booklet form. What pre-hire questions can you ask?
Increasing lawsuits have made it extremely difficult, even illegal, for you to ask important questions to determine the integrity of a job candidate. Past employers can be held liable for information they give you.
If you choose to avoid hiring an applicant, can you prove that you did not discriminate? In the absence of objective data, it is often difficult to demonstrate that your decision was made objectively without regard to gender, race, age, etc.
However, with the Step One Survey II® the questions asked are all legally allowed before employment. This allows you the opportunity to then ask follow up questions regarding their answers.
In addition, interview questions are provided to help with the job interview process, along with a numerical score of their attitude in regard to their four important work attitudes: Integrity, Substance Abuse, Reliability and Work Ethic. Employee surveys reflect these harsh realities: - 56% of working people admit they have lied to their supervisors
- 41% say they have falsified records
- 64% admit using the Internet for personal reasons during working hours
- 35% have stolen from their employers, by their own admission.
- 31% abuse drugs or alcohol
Medical facilities, of any type, simply cannot afford to hire someone without taking adequate steps to ensure the person has the business attitude to properly represent the medical organization, and give a full day's work for a full day's pay. The Step One Survey II® addresses challenges that can directly effect the quality, productivity and, ultimately, profitability of your facility such as: - Unauthorized disclosure of confidential or restricted computer data
- Theft of supplies and inventory shrinkage
- Clocking in or out for other employees
- Revealing confidential information and/or organizational statistics to unauthorized recipients
- Absenteeism and/or tardiness
- Drug use
- Job performance
- Fraud
- Job-hopping
