September Meeting
Jeffrey M. Klink, President and CEO of Klink & Co., Inc. presented Preventing and Investigating Employee Misconduct. Every day corporations face the issues of employee misconduct, including workplace violence, harassment, fraud, and kickbacks. Fortunately, there are proven methods available to avoid and mitigate these damaging problems which often adversely impact the reputation of employers and the stock price of public companies.
Prevention and resolution of employee misconduct issues should be a primary focus of employers. There are ways Human Resources professionals can implement effective strategies to protect the bottom line and reputation of employers. Firstly, Human Resource Professionals are the gatekeepers, responsible for hiring and retaining the best and brightest employees. A critical factor in this process is the implementation of a focused, risk based background check program designed to identify applicants that will succeed in the corporate culture.
Lastly, when inevitable employee misconduct problems occur, there are specific methodologies to be utilized to protect the company's reputation and business relationships during the investigation and resolution of any conflict.
Information was given on how to:
- Implement background check policies to eliminate the hiring of dangerous and incompetent applicants
- Improve the workforce
- Identify problem employees
- Effectively Investigate, using the methods and strategies of investigators and prosecutors, allegations of employee misconduct, including fraud and harassment
- Understand the legal limitations concerning background checks and investigations
