Background checks

Background screening has quickly become a staple in the hiring process for businesses world-wide. Some companies screen applicants because they are seriously concerned with their ability to perform critical job functions, while others are performing checks simply to demonstrate due diligence in the event of legal proceedings. Implementing background screening into your hiring process will naturally encourage applicants to be honest, while discouraging applicants with something to hide. Many of our clients immediately see a reduction of employee turnover, and insurance premiums as well as a reduction in workplace theft, violence, and injury.

Drug Testing

Alcohol and drug abuse creates significant safety and health hazards and can result in decreased productivity and poor employee morale. It also can lead to additional costs in the form of health care claims, especially short-term disability claims. Common reasons employers implement drug testing are to:

• Deter employees from abusing alcohol and drugs

• Prevent hiring individuals who use illegal drugs

• Be able to identify early and appropriately refer employees who have drug and/or alcohol problems

• Provide a safe workplace for employees

• Protect the general public and instill consumer confidence that employees are working safely
