“As organizations face increasing challenges in taming health care and medical costs, it’s imperative that the right people are in the right jobs at the onset,” said James Mitchell, CHS executive vice president. “A risk management program that includes background and drug screening as well as risk consulting services can have a significant, positive impact on a company’s overall medical costs. By expanding our service offerings, this partnership with Kroll Background America helps our customers make the right hiring and placement decisions, as well as complements on-going occupational health initiatives such as surveillance and absence management programs. We’re pleased to work with a partner that is held in the highest ethical esteem to provide these background screening services.”

In turn, Kroll Background America will offer its clients CHS’ occupational health services.

“A growing number of our background screening clients are either initiating or expanding their occupational health and physical assessment programs. Many of them have asked if we can provide a resource to help them implement these plans, said Tony Magro, business development manager, Kroll Background America. “Partnering with CHS is a natural fit for us, and we’re excited to forge a relationship with a top-notch company that offers a comprehensive range of employee health care services.”
