Backgrounds Checks: Creating a safer environment for consumers.The workplace is the scene of almost 3.2 million violent crimes and thefts every year. Previously employers have been held liable for employee wrongdoing that was within the realm of the employee's duties. Today, negligent hiring greatly increases employer responsibility, making the employer liable even if the wrongdoing occurs outside the workplace. - 61% say they feel more comfortable patronizing a business that conducts employee screenings
- 17% don't feel strongly
- 11% don't feel employment screening is relevant to the consumer
- 6% say they would not patronize a business that did not conduct employee screenings
The most common elements of legal action following an incident of workplace violence often involve:
- Negligent hiring: failing to properly screen employees resulting in the hiring of someone the courts find to have had a history of violent and criminal acts
- Negligent retention: keeping an employee after becoming aware of the employee's unsuitability and failing to act on that knowledge
- Negligent supervision: failing to provide the appropriate monitoring to ensure employees perform duties properly
- Inadequate security: measure provided to safeguard employees, customers and members of the public not consistent with the potential security threat
