Effective recruitment, thorough pre-employment screening, employment and academic verification, and multiple interviews can cumulatively be very effective in hiring great employees. But people change, and what should you do periodically to continue to qualify these workers? Management regularly takes steps to maintain a high quality business operation, but what could be more important than ensuring the continued quality of the workforce performing those operations?
The American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS) recently reported that two Best Practices to maintain an excellent and trustworthy workforce include; annual workforce rescreening (especially civil, criminal and driving record updates) and unannounced workforce drug testing. Good employees are motivated to improve productivity (and thus the organization’s bottom line), they help minimize fraud against the organization and they improve safety and security of the workplace.
Have counsel ensure that your company’s written policy is clear about on-going vetting, and include the screening results in your annual employee review process. It will allow for better dialogue with staff, it will increase transparency and it will continue the process of trust building, all good things to build and maintain a healthy organization.
