Conducting Effective (and Compliant) Background
Investigations
(Asheville, NC): The next regular meeting of
the Western North Carolina Human Resources Association will be at 12
noon on Wednesday, January 11, at the Renaissance Asheville Hotel in
downtown Asheville.
This program will address
pre-employment investigations, providing an overview of the key
issues, a summary of the legal requirements, and some specific tips
for handling this important responsibility. The presenter, Karen
Caruso, created Mind Your Business (MYB) nine years ago in response to
a need for parents to have critical background information childcare
providers applicants. Now, MYB not only investigates childcare
applicants, but also provides employment-screening services for many
well known and large organizations, such as Fisher Scientific Global,
Allied Domecq Spirits Global, COACH Leather Corporation, and SCANA
(South Carolina Electric and Gas).
