 Program Overview & Learning Objectives
Program Overview:Background Checks: What You Don't Know Can Hurt Your Organization. In today's litigious environment, performing background checks is more important than ever. An employer can improve applicant quality, reduce employee theft and violence AND protect themselves from negligent hiring, which is very much in the headlines today. However, not understanding what makes a background check truly comprehensive or the differences between bad data and good data can almost render a background check useless. Additionally HR professionals are challenged to keep up with the ever changing regulatory environment regarding the use of criminal records and consumer reports, while there's NO education provided on background screening. This presentation covers comprehensive reports, data sources, credit reports and many legal compliancy problems and how to avoid them. It is a must attend for all HR professionals who are responsible for talent management, hiring & recruiting or compliance practices in their organization.
Learning Objective 1:Learn the real reasons an organization should perform employee background checks & the components of a truly comprehensive background check – what you need & what you don’t.
Learning Objective 2:Learn where criminal records come from, what constitutes “good data” and the differences in manual county searches vs. ‘online’ instant searches – and the dangers instant data poses. You'll also learn about ‘order review’ and why you it’s important, fingerprinting (and why it’s not), credit reports (can I run them?), state and federal searches.
Learning Objective 3:Learn who regulates background screening & why & common compliancy problems and how to avoid them, including applicant authorization forms, adverse action & what charges you can consider and for how long – including state & federal regulations. We'll cover ALL of the most common forms of compliance & consumer violations.
