How Does One Machine Make Such a Difference?

The ability to make a difference in the lives of businesses, corporations, and organizations has inspired Physical Capacity Profile (PCP) to increase the volume of post-offer employment testing across the nation. Every level of leadership in organizations utilizing the PCP takes comfort in knowing the opportunity to hire the right employee the first time is one 30-minute test away and available for less than $200 per test. For every dollar spent on PCP testing, employers are seeing an average savings of $6-$8 in workers’ compensation claims.

So, How Does One Machine Make Such a Difference?

Validity . Validity is defined by Merriam-Webster as;

the quality or state of being valid : such as

A : the state of being acceptable according to the law

B : the quality of being well-grounded, sound, or correct


Validity and the PCP

Employers must be capable of obtaining accurate baseline physical capability employment measurements. If an employee is hired without being tested by valid measures and is injured on the job, the company will likely pay for the entire injury. However, if the employee was tested with valid measures pre-hire, and the injury happens on the job, the company will likely pay only for claims associated with rehabilitating the employee to his or her previous, post work-injury state.

Without valid testing, one would never be able to prove to what extent someone is hurt. In addition, without valid testing, one would never be able to prove when someone is fully rehabilitated or ready to return to work.

A physician's exam does not cover valid measures.

The only way to test with valid measures it by utilizing the PCP. Our team is ready to assist yours in reducing workers’ compensation claims. Contact us online at pcpworks.com or call 785.825.4444 today.
