Background Checks; Are They Important To Your Business?
I have been a member of the law enforcement community for over 15 years. My career started as a police officer for the USAF. I served 8 years as a police officer, or Security Police as they call it, and held a myriad of duties throughout my enlistment. One of those jobs was in personnel security, which involved the management of security clearances, the military’s version of employee background checks. In the military we utilize security clearances as a means to evaluate a person’s background, in order to determine if they can be in a position of trust. This may involve access to classified or sensitive information, or may just involve the need to evaluate their character and trustworthiness, based on the position in which they are assigned. My job was to manage this process by ensuring all personnel were receiving 5 or 10 year periodic reviews as required. It also involved the review of the background questionnaires to ensure accuracy and completeness prior to being submitted. This required that I sit down with each individual and go over their information and required documentation. On one occasion during the review process I came across the section that documented marriages and/or divorces and began reviewing the information. There was an entry showing a marriage, in which the spouses name was documented as: FUK MUK Smith. It showed the marriage only lasted about 3 weeks and occurred in Las Vegas, NV. I found this unusual and asked the applicant if that was their former spouse’s full name, at which time she indicated that it meant “First Name Unknown, Middle Name Unknown.” I have to admit this was a first for me and took a lot of will power not to laugh at the situation. It reminds me of the Carrie Underwood song, “Last Name”, where she describes a drunken Las Vegas wedding, in which she wakes up not knowing her last name. Although this wasn’t a normal occurrence it did help break up the monotony of completing hundreds of background investigations each year.
As a current Manager of Loss Prevention, in the civilian sector, I am tasked with managing our employee background checks and pre-employment screening for our company as well. I take this job very seriously, as I feel that it is very important to screen our employees and mitigate our liability, by rejecting unfavorable candidates. By completing pre-employment screening we are able to identify information that may warrant an unfavorable employment action in advance so we can avoid future problems. Not completing employee background checks opens the company up to future employment issues that can’t be rectified quickly or without large amounts of HR involvement. This can result in possible delays in productivity and negatively impact work performance for an entire division, shift or company as a whole. Tracking and documenting behavior is time consuming, and typically results in additional behavioral issues, that can go on for an extended period of time. Pre-Employment screening also helps to identify individuals who may have violent tendencies. Workplace violence is a serious issue that affects all types of businesses; big or small. Our employees are our biggest asset and require the highest level of protection when it comes to assessing our risk. That is why employee background checks are so important. They allow us to properly evaluate our new hires, and reduce our risk for workplace violence, and other HR related issues.
If you aren’t currently conducting pre-employment screening, I seriously recommend you start. Regardless of whether we are dealing with classified information, or simply doing data entry or working as a cashier at the local supermarket, knowledge is power. Avoid the future personnel issues by pre-screening your employees and ensuring you hire those that best represent your company, and the values you want portrayed to your customers.

Pre Employment Screening; Preventing Losses Before They Happen
I remember a time when an employer could and did, ask tough questions of prospective employees. My first interview when I was 16 was for a pizza cook job and I remember sweating each question, not knowing if my answer was good enough and I certainly was in no position to fabricate anything. Fast forward 20 years and most entry level interview consist of four, totally non thought provoking, non-fact finding, non- informative questions that that everyone can easily prepare for, especially those planning on committing dishonest acts. Pre employment Screening is now an essential task to protect your business.
Employee background checks used to be a precaution only for the highest level of jobs but, in today’s workplace, with the endless hurdles of HR, legal and government concerns any employee, at any level can be a disaster for your bottom line. Pre employment screening isn’t an option, it is a necessity. We wouldn’t dream of conducting business with vendors and suppliers we didn’t have any information on so why gamble with our biggest investment and area of risk?
On the simplest level, hiring without Employee background checks exposes you to the waste. Waste of time, waste of money and waste of resources. it takes to bring on and train a new hire. Pre employment screening can give you vital information to avoid making a bad hire. With the average cost of hiring a retail cashier being at least a few thousand dollars can anyone’s bottom line afford to burn that cash on an associate who doesn’t make it. It’s a big loss when they just quit, whatever the reason, let alone have to be terminated.
I have worked for employers who have “selective” or “Random” Employee background checks. Iin every instance I run into some unpleasant surprises. More than a few times I have had new hires in orientation let slip their run ins with Law enforcement. It’s a short journey from that information to a full investigation and eventual integrity interview and termination. Each time that comes up the lack of Pre employment screening burns the precious resources of HR, LP and management. The cost in time alone, time where we could be growing top line sales or servicing our customers is no different than burning cash.
I have even had the pleasure of interviewing an associate for theft who, when asked about a gap of employment prior to working at my company, casually informed me of his 23-year stint in prison for murder. Here I am, nose to nose with an individual, who I intend to prosecute for theft, and I have to wonder what he could potentially do when he finds out the outcome of our chat. It was not a great situation. A simple Employee background check would have saved my company thousands in losses from theft alone.
Now I accept that there is the potential for risk in my line of work but what about our non-security associates? You may have stock clerks, cashiers, nurses, volunteers, the young, the old and the vulnerable working in your facility. Employing a booster, a professional thief, could cost you hundreds or thousands potentially from theft but how much do you risk if you hired a violent offender?
How much would it cost if they assaulted another associate? An Employee background check is a tool in your arsenal to prevent loss. Why not use it to protect yourself? Hiring will always have an element of risk and the history of an individual is not always a guarantee of future action but Pre employment screening can alert you to the potential risks. Why make decisions with less than all the facts? Gain the knowledge and use that information to make the best hiring decision possible.

Do You Really Have Inventory Control If You Hire The Wrong People? A Background Check Company Ensures You Stay In Control
Over the last few weeks I have been writing about different aspects of what Inventory Control means and strategies for impacting it. Recently it dawned on me that there is a human element to Inventory Control I had not previously considered. While paperwork errors, process and handling errors, and even technical glitches can all factor into control of inventory, the “people” factor has more influence than any other. Think about it like this, people make keying errors into computers, people make mistakes, people sometimes make poor decisions and sometimes people steal. If you aren’t hiring the right people for your workplace you could be creating your own inventory control problems. In order to hire the right people it is best to conduct pre-employment screening through a reputable company.
A good hiring interview with structured questions is important in getting a feel for an applicant’s ability to do the job you are trying to fill. The problem with an interview is that some people do a great job of interviewing, while not necessarily being honest in all their answers to your questions. I have conducted interviews with candidates and the answers they provided to my questions sounded good at the time but once they were hired and began work I was not so sure they had not embellished some of their responses. A background check company can verify information that a candidate puts on an application before they are hired. If you have a job that requires accurate data entry skills and the prospective employee indicates they have worked for a business doing this type of work, a background check company can verify that. If you need someone to work with finances and budgeting and you have an applicant indicate they received a finance degree from a university, you may not be able to establish it is true. A pre-employment screening can validate that information and let you know the information provided is correct. Places of residence, social security number verifications, criminal history and driving records are also pieces of information that can be gathered when employee background checks are conducted.
Potential dishonest employee activity can be a significant issue when addressing inventory control problems. If workers are stealing merchandise then it is apparent you are not in control, at least in that instance. A background check company can conduct a criminal background check on the candidate you are considering before you finalize a decision on whether to bring that person on the team. Your interview questions and application may ask whether someone has a felony conviction but if they lie and you aren’t doing employee background checks it is unlikely you will find out about their criminal history. This is not an admonition against hiring someone with a prior conviction, I actually encourage giving opportunities to people who are making an effort to turn their lives around. I do believe it is acceptable to put them in positions that will not put a company or their clients at risk for theft and let them prove they are worthy of an employer’s trust. On the other hand, if they aren’t being honest on an application about their past then regardless of the reason for lying they have demonstrated credibility issues before they are even hired. Pre-employment screening removes the risk of hiring the wrong person who may hurt inventory control in the long term.
Another inventory control concern is the freight receiving process and vendor credit and chargeback handling. In most cases these jobs require someone who is attentive to detailed work. They must be able to identify paperwork errors when an invoice doesn’t match the product received. A digit in the wrong place can be costly if not caught. Does billing match what was received? Are vendors giving all the credits due to the store when they take merchandise out of the store? All of this requires a person who doesn’t mind challenging an error when they find it and ensuring it gets fixed. If you seek a person with experience in this field and they have indicated on their application they worked for a company doing this job, pre-employment screening can come in handy. The background check company can verify past employment, guaranteeing you are hiring the person you think you are hiring.
Employee background checks do have an impact on the inventory control in your store. A company I used to work for used to teach us, “Right Person, Right Place, Right Time”. Make sure you are getting the right person ALL the time by using a background check company.

A friend and I were recently out shopping at the mall and I asked her opinion on whether I should let my daughter, who is 8, walk or ride her bike to school. We live in a small rural town, which is quite safe, and the school is only three-quarters of a mile from our house. She has been asking me for a while now, and I am hesitant to let her. She is capable but I worry about other factors. After being a police officer for 15 years, I have a somewhat jaded view of society, and I worry about someone abducting her or her getting hit by a car or worse. My friend said that walking for her kid is not an option, but she said she wouldn’t let her daughter walk because there are too many creeps out there. She said you can never be sure about a person’s true nature, even the people you work with. She then described an incident she had at work with a new hire employee, which re-affirmed how important it is to do Pre-Employment Screening.
My friend is an HR specialist for a small company and deals with hiring new employees. She stated that her company is not willing to pay a background check company for Pre-employment screening of new applicants, so she can never be sure what type of employees they are hiring. She recently interviewed an applicant who looked great on paper. She said that they verified the applicant’s employment and references and had no reservations about hiring him. After the employee was on the job for about two weeks, another employee came to her and told her that they thought the new hire was a registered sex offender. My friend did some more research on her own and confirmed that the employee, she had hired was a registered sex offender, and only lived a few miles from her home. This caused her great concern and made her wonder what other crimes he had been convicted of, including the offense that got him on the registry. Now she and other employees feel awkward and uncomfortable around him at work and she doesn’t know how to handle the situation.
I am the Director of Security for a mid-size company and I manage our pre-employment screening program. Our company understands the importance of conducting employee background checks and how pre-screening allows us to hire quality employees and reduce overhead by decreasing turn-over. I have discovered that employee background checks also provide peace of mind to existing employees by ensuring a sense of safety and security within the work force. I think about how my friend and her co-workers are now uncomfortable around this employee and how that impacts their performance and ability to work as a cohesive team. She can’t fire him based on this information, and now she has no option but to try and have a positive working relationship.
Our company utilizes a background check company that manages our employee background checks. This is an important process for us, because it allows us to complete an individualized assessment for each candidate to determine whether their background could have a negative impact on our company based on the job they are going to perform. Our background check company also ensures we are compliant with FCRA requirements and that we are abiding by state law in regards to the type of information we are using to make employment decisions. My friend is right. There is no way to know a person’s true character, by simply reviewing a resume, checking references and conducting an interview. We have no way to truly know what may exist in a person’s background without performing pre-employment screening. The same holds true in our personal lives, and I think I will continue to go with my gut feeling, and have my daughter ride the bus to school. I am sure being in law enforcement and loss prevention make me a more conservative parent, but it also allows me to be more knowledgeable of the risks so I can make better decisions both personally and professionally.
I strongly believe that paying a small up-front cost to perform pre-employment screening is imperative to maintaining a strong, competent and dedicated work force. So if you own a small business please consider background screening as a necessary expense and factor it into your budget. I promise it will save you time and money in the long run.

Tablet Theft: 3
Alpha Thunder Tag: 5
Protect Your Most Sensitive Information With An Alpha Thunder Tag
As the manager of a security and loss prevention program we commonly use third party vendors to provide services for our company. We have one company that we use that does all of our background checks for pre-employment screening. We recently were notified of a possible data breach involving some of our employees as well as some applicants that were not hired. An employee of this third-party company had taken their company tablet or IPad home, and had subsequently left it in their car. The car was burglarized and the tablet was stolen. Although the tablet was encrypted, which reduces the likelihood of an actual breach of client PPI; it is not a failsafe means to protect the device. This theft resulted in a required mass notification to all of the personnel possibly affected, additional credit reporting protection, and increased liability to that company. This can result in increased costs and possible litigation if PPI information is released. It also caused us to be concerned about the vendors’ credibility and their ability to safeguard our employee’s personal confidential information. We are in a technological world and we can’t presume to think that we can work without the use of computers or technology to store and secure personal information, but we can expect a certain level of protection as a consumer and as a company. This applies to most companies irrespective of the services they provide, because everyone has employee information and some professions have increased liability due to the very nature of their profession. That is why it is important for everyone to take an active role in protecting this type of information to avoid breaches in personal data and to avoid increased liability. The best way to protect computer equipment that contains personal information is through the use of an Alpha Thunder Tag.
The Alpha Thunder Tag can reduce your risk of tablet theft, or theft of other devices, thus reducing the risk of losing sensitive data. This can be very effective in areas such as the medical field, or in similar areas that maintain large amounts of client or patient data. It can also be effective in fields that have sensitive information or want to protect their intellectual property. The Alpha Thunder Tag is a hard tag that can be placed on any computer related device, and is equipped with EAS technology, in order to prevent tablet theft. This provides protection against anyone trying to remove the tag from the device and prevents someone from leaving the building with the computer, tablet or other device. A company simply adds EAS antennas at all of the entrance/exits, and if the tag comes in close proximity to the antennas it will make an audible signal, so staff can prevent a breach of information and protect their property. These tags are attached with a strong adhesive and allow you to turn them on or off, depending on your needs. It also provides a red indicator light that works as a deterrent but also shows you when the device is activated. When it comes to protecting sensitive information in a technological world, it is imperative that we take additional precautions to prevent identity theft and unlawful disclosure of personal data.
Technology has resulted in an increase in the use of computer related equipment to maintain records and track data. Patient records are now kept electronically and are updated and maintained on various types of computer devices, which creates a liability for those associated with protecting it. That is why Alpha Thunder Tags are an important resource to assist with protecting sensitive information, regardless of what that might be. Tablet theft can be more than just the loss of a device it can involve the disclosure of sensitive information, which leads to future litigation and increased costs.
Alpha Thunder Tags are important and we can help with it. Call 1.770.426.0547.
