High-Risk Employee Terminations Houston Texas
At times even a company’s best employees are affected by the stresses of life, such a divorce, a sick family member, poor health, and at its worse – addiction. The stress associated with a personal crisis can take its toll on an individuals’ ability to logically deal with these stresses. Desperate times can sometimes make individuals resort to desperate ways in dealing with their stresses.
During these situations, employees’ work productivity can faulter or even worse, cause them to resort to actions constituting a violation of company policy or criminal activity. Sometimes employers have no choice but to terminate this type of employee. Employment terminations involving violations of company policy or criminal activity are typically accompanied by ill feelings and in some cases anger and threats of retribution.

Pre-Employment Screening Service Houston Texas
A Human Resources (HR) Department is traditionally the department of an organization or business whose responsibility is to screen potential employees for new employment. HR personnel rely heavily on the information provided by the potential new-hire via the employment application to assist them in determining if the candidate is suitable for hiring.
At times however, factors including the necessity to immediately fill a position or lack of training provided to the HR employee doing the screening creates a scenario where effective vetting of the candidate is not accomplished. Hiring a candidate who is not suitable for the position or one who has a history of “red flags” on their employment background could introduce a potential problem into your workforce causing personnel issues, or more importantly, a serious and potential violent situation.
Our experts will train your HR personnel to adequately screen a candidate’s application for gaps and inconsistencies. We will also assist you in identifying verbal and non-verbal communications which suggest possible deception and how to address these signs.
