WRITING ASSIGNMENT/UNIT 7 2 Security Involvement in Pre-employment Screening
Security is very important for pre-employment screening because of the amount of violence and drug use in the workplace. Violence is an unwanted exertion of physical force so as to injure or abuse” or a “vehement feeling or expression.” (Webster). In the workplace a lot goes on especially when the employee is extremely upset about being fired or demoted to another position that caused a huge adjustment in the income being brought in for the family. In some situations employers have been lucky but in many cases have lost their lives or been severely injured. Pre-employment screening involving scenarios and role playing can in fact help a lot in finding out what kind of person you will be working besides. Although nothing is 100% accurate but is helpful. For example, an employer may be hiring for a manager or supervisory position. The candidate could have just been fired from the last employer due to sexual harassment that also led to a physical attack. In the pre-employment screening process we are asked to list at least the last seven employers along with the addresses and phone numbers for contact. In the case where there was a previous harassment case and attack, this could have also happened in another state several years before the present application was filed. This form of security is definitely needed.
