About IES
A complete suite of screening, compliance, policy, and wellness services delivered with a level of understanding for your business and its goals
About Impact Employee Solutions
Originally, IES was founded as a drug and alcohol testing firm. Services were added as a natural result of our close client relationships and our understanding of their businesses.
Since 2011 we’ve been providing pre- and post-employment services to employers across the country. Headquartered in Phoenix AZ, we provide a complete suite of screening, compliance, policy, and wellness solutions specifically designed and tailored to the needs of your organization.
We pride ourselves in delivering industry-leading customer service and knowledge, creating long-lasting strategic partnerships to strengthen your organizational infrastructure – and positively impact lives.
Our team boasts decades of real-world consultative experience in employee management, screening, policy design, and wellness services. The goal is to become an extension of your organization to provide advice, programs, and services, the elements for a safe workplace.
We offer a range of timely and accurate screening services, such as background checks, drug testing, and occupational physicals, in combination with a consulting component, providing your business with the insights you need to make better and more informed hiring choices.
We started as a drug and alcohol testing company, adding services and expertise over time to meet the growing needs of our clients.
Today, working with IES is much more than a traditional, client-vendor relationship. It’s a partnership, turning knowledge-based consultancy and services into tangible value for your business – and your employees.
Consultancy & Education
Employee screening and background checks are an important and (often) legal requirement for specific industries. However, a simple ‘transactional’ commercial relationship can leave organizations vulnerable to changes in legislation, or the adoption of industry best practices. This is especially true as your business expands or changes into additional markets or industries.
What you need is a partner who can see the bigger picture as it relates to your particular situation.
A dedicated team who can provide information and advice to enable you to make timely decisions designed to mitigate risk and keep on the right side of compliance requirements.
A key component to our unique value offering is our unrivalled consultancy services. We take the time to understand your business, its goals and aspirations, and provide insightful advice and education on all aspects of screening, compliance, and policy management.
A knowledgeable advisor on hand to consult and answer questions.
Industry-Leading Customer Service
We’ve got your back
We understand your business, your priorities, and how easy a delay at one end can negatively impact the wider scheme of things.
That’s why we pride ourselves in keeping you informed, making sure we deliver what we promised – and when we promised it.
A Woman-Owned Business
Just as important as our mission to provide a safe and honest working environment lies in who we are – today, and into the future.
We’re a values-driven organization underpinned by a commitment to diversity of ideas, encouraging independent decisions and including team collaboration to achieve results for our business, or our clients.
We ultimately see the value of our inclusivity in the programs and services we provide. We believe an empowered team results in a healthy combination of perspectives, allowing us to more authentically deliver what we believe to be the most value-driven programs and services available anywhere.
