Background Screening: Why You’re at Risk
Location: Virtual
Today’s workplace is becoming more inclusive, diverse and accommodating. A one-size-fits-all approach fails to account for individual differences and specific needs. By increasing the adjustability in the office, employees can move toward the goals of creating a healthy, productive and ideal work environment.
Do you know what information you’re really receiving when you run a background check? Do you depend on a screening firm who tells you “you’re getting it all” (whatever ‘all’ is)? Most employers are somewhat familiar with “running packages” but haven’t been told exactly what records and data sources those “packages” or reports are searching, let alone how often the record sources are updated. Unfortunately for the employer, this information is critical to receiving a “comprehensive” and compliant background check. This webinar covers criminal record data, where it comes from, how accurate it really is, how often it’s updated, automation in county and national reports, state reports (when & where to run them), federal reports (yes, they’re required for the banking industry!) and much more! A must attend session for HR professionals of all levels.
Attendee Takeaways:
1. Learn how data is received, compiled and reported and the difference in sources (“fluff” data vs. usable data)
2. Learn which background screening reports you really need and the risks associated with running each. This includes what creates a “comprehensive” report and how that can vary by state
3. Learn about “automated date” and its associated risks

Active Assailant: How to Avoid Missteps in the Aftermath of an Event
Location: Virtual
There’s been a great amount of information on how to protect your facilities from an active assailant, but just like a ransomware or phishing attack, all it takes is for something like a stolen key card to circumvent. It’s important to understand how critical the next steps are in the aftermath of an event so you can avoid missteps that could result in making a difficult situation infinitely more difficult.
Every door is locked, you have panic buttons, time lock safes, employee key cards, surveillance and perhaps even on-site security. But that didn’t matter. Now, after the all-clear is given, you have police asking you questions, and a reporter approaches you with a camera and a microphone asking for a comment. Understandably, your adrenal gland is still in overdrive and you dig deep for something to say, but what do you say? More importantly, what do you NOT say? In today’s connected world, a comment given out of context or a leaked surveillance video clip will present significant problems. Before you know it, your organization is all over the evening news that will make any litigation that follows more complicated and politicized.
