Managing Your Risks
What you don't know can hurt you and your organization!
The Importance of Employment Screening Programs
Allowing unknown individuals to enter your company can propose a risk. Without an effective employment screening program in place, you could face harsh penalties for exposing your company and staff to a potentially dangerous individual. The consequences of a poor hiring decision and lack of a thorough employment screening program could negatively affect your organization in several ways:
- Negligent Hiring Lawsuits
- Decreased workplace safety, placing your valuable staff at risk
- Bad publicity and damage to your company's reputation
- Lowered productivity
- Lost revenue due to employee theft
- Danger of losing employee or client data to identity theft
With the average legal expense of negligent hiring lawsuits registering at $2.2 million, these situations can be financially devastating in addition to exposing your staff to danger and risking your company's reputation. Background checks- be it for prospective employees, volunteers, students or tenants - can minimize the risk of such incidents. At one time, background checks were reserved for only the most sensitive or high visibility positions, it is now common to have one done for almost any position.
