In fact, over <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/covid-19s-toll-on-u-s-business-200-000-extra-closures-in-pandemics-first-year-11618580619\">200,000 businesses closed due to the pandemic during the first year<\/a><\/u> alone. Fortunately, American knows how to bounce back, even when faced with uncertainty. As high unemployment rates start to taper off and fall, background checks are becoming more important than ever for stable businesses. But how can the right <a href=\"https:\/\/asginvestigations.com\/background_checks\/\">post-covid background check<\/a> help protect your business?<\/p>\n<h2>Verify Your Candidates<\/h2>\n<p>Identity theft reports may not be as popular as they once were via media and newsgroups. But <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.definefinancial.com\/blog\/identity-theft-credit-card-fraud-statistics\/\">identity theft incidents<\/a><\/u> actually doubled between 2019 and 2020. While the idea of claiming to be someone else to get a job may seem outlandish, it does actually happen. Hiring the wrong person for any reason can be an expensive mistake to any business, especially considering the hiring process already costs businesses money upfront. The right background check can ensure the person you\u2019re interviewing is really who they claim to be.<\/p>\n<h2>Verify Qualifications<\/h2>\n<p>According to Checkster, <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.checkster.com\/are_you_hiring_charlatans\">nearly 80% of applicants lie<\/a><\/u> on their resumes or elsewhere during the hiring process. Almost all businesses deal with this to some degree, and a lot of hiring managers let the lies slide. Depending on the job and requirements involved, there may be some leeway there. But accidents happen more often to people who can\u2019t keep up with their work expectations. A simple check can help limit the risks.<\/p>\n<h2>Protect Your Employees<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s an employer\u2019s responsibility to provide a safe and secure work site for all its employees. Different opinions and clashing personalities can still lead to aggression at times. But a toxic workplace can be avoided by ensuring new and existing employees have the necessary temperament and patience levels to handle the job expectations. Running a post-covid background check for new and current employees can help ensure the focus remains where it needs to be.<\/p>\n<h2>Protect Your Data and Cybersecurity<\/h2>\n<p>According to global research, cybersecurity threats affect approximately 35% of businesses worldwide. And <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.proofpoint.com\/us\/resources\/threat-reports\/2020-cost-of-insider-threats\">those threats increased almost 50%<\/a><\/u> between 2018 and 2020. The sheer number of pandemic-forced (or encouraged) home workers has helped those numbers soar. After all, many businesses need to make their sensitive data available on in-house servers so select employees can access the information even while working remotely. That doesn\u2019t mean your customer and client information is in danger, but it increases the security risks. Regular and post-covid background checks should be run on any current and transitioning employees who may have access to such information to ensure it stays in safe hands.<\/p>\n<h2>Maintain Proper and Legal Compliance<\/h2>\n<p>Failing to keep up with the changing rules and regulations surrounding labor laws can be a pain in the neck. Moreover, that failure can lead to fees and even incarceration if you\u2019re not careful. The right post-covid background check for existing and incoming employees can ensure everyone\u2019s legally able and qualified to perform the job they\u2019re hired to do. Keeping up with the regulations can be a stressful and complex task. Fortunately, you don\u2019t have to do it alone. Give <a href=\"https:\/\/asginvestigations.com\/\">ASG Investigations<\/a> a call when you\u2019re ready, and we\u2019ll help you get your post-covid background checks in order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Covid has seriously impacted the world since it started unleashing its reign of terror in 2019.
