Reducing Risk In Employee Hiring And Exit Processes

Hiring and separation are some of the critical decisions an organisation has to make in an increasingly litigious business environment. Separation presents a higher risk of legal backlash, particularly when an employee is disgruntled. Though not as obvious, the hiring process also presents a significant risk to an organisation. Besides the immediate financial cost, hiring the "wrong" employee poses a myriad risks, including those related to fraud and corruption. Adequate due diligence is therefore critical in both hiring and firing decisions.
