Maybe It Is Time- Background Checks

So often when we (as business owners and managers) think of running background checks for potential employees, we do so with the mindset that it is for our benefit. We rarely stop and think about pre employment screening from the perspective of a new hire.

Maybe it is time that we do.

With so many companies making it blatantly obvious that the employees are an after thought, background checks are frequently viewed as another company hoop to be jumped through.

Maybe it is time we talk to our potential employees about the benefits that they will get from undergoing the pre employment screening.

Since we are all aware of the benefits from low turnover, we should be presenting background checks in the same context that we do vacation time, insurance, or 401K opportunities.

When you are able to weed out potentially dangerous or deceitful employees, you are creating a safer work environment for the employees who do make it past the initial screening.

When you are validating education history, you are ensuring that other employees will not have to work double duty to compensate for the lied about skill and knowledge sets of a potential bad hire.

When you verify work history, you can discover large employment gaps or frequent job bouncing. Those employees can exhibit a serious lack of commitment to their job and their productivity. Not hiring those candidates help keep high employee morale as everyone is doing their share of the workload.
