Proforma Screening Solutions and Lowers Risk Group Announce New Enterprise Risk Management Whitepaper
Purcellville, VA (PRWEB) July 17, 2013 -- Proforma Screening Solutions and its parent company, Lowers Risk Group, announce the publication of a new whitepaper titled People: At the Epicenter of Risk. This whitepaper is one of an on-going series of publications intended to help employers in all types of organizations develop effective enterprise risk management programs. The latest whitepaper describes how employee background screening helps to mitigate risks that are intrinsic byproducts of human activity in an organization or from its environment.
Since risks represent potential losses for organizations, managers regularly seek to mitigate them. However, the class of risks imposed by employee and other human activity within the organization’s operations are often ignored or misunderstood. The whitepaper presents four types of risk related to human activity that can be mitigated, in full or in part, by well-designed background screening programs.
The four types of risk analyzed include occupational fraud, employee turnover, catastrophic workplace events, and negligent hiring and retention. Data is provided to show the probability and potential for damage each of these risks represents. Taken together, theserisks inflict billions of dollars in losses on organizations every year, as well as damage reputation, brand, and workforce morale. The whitepaper describes how a background screening program can be used to help mitigate each of the human risk types.
Michael Gaul, VP of Business Development for Proforma Screening Solutions, notes that “Our work with all types of employers has shown us how vulnerable companies can be to disruptive events caused by even a small minority of employees. Fortunately, these human risks are readily moderated and controlled through screening and other practices.”
