Last month, we began looking at security issues involving employees. Many security and safety issues focus on employees, and hiring and retaining the best employees is a major concern of all businesses, as well as a major insurance issue.
Hiring – or firing – the wrong employee can lead to headaches in a number of insurable issues, ranging from liability exposures to third parties, injuries to other employees, employment practices issues, or fidelity bond claims, not to mention the damage to an employer's reputation and business that a bad employee can cause.
The extent of screening of job applicants conducted by employers varies from entity to entity, often depending on the nature of the job for which the person is applying. Screening can involve factors ranging from completion of an application and submission of a r?sum? in which information is verified to credit checks and personal interviews.
