Conducting background checks is a vital component of the hiring process for many organizations. These checks involve investigating an individual’s past to verify their credentials, assess their suitability for a particular role, and mitigate potential risks to the company. When a background check reveals a prior conviction, many employers become weary of moving forward for fear of negligent hiring claims. This fear is legitimate. Negligent hiring lawsuits can have financial and reputational consequences. However, there are proactive measures that every employer can take to mitigate the risk of such claims.
In this webinar, we will learn about negligent hiring, including what it is and how it differs from negligent retention; the legal landscape of negligent hiring claims, including where they often arise and how often they occur; and proactive strategies to mitigate the risk of negligent hiring claims.
