The “ban the box” movement has spread like wildfire throughout the United States. Each week it seems that either a new state or city has jumped on the bandwagon. Employers should prepare for this new trend even if they operate in a state or city without current “ban the box laws.”
Here are a few takeaways that employers could use to proactively prepare for the “ban the box” movement:
Workplace Violence
One out of every six crimes occurs in the workplace and homicide is the second leading cause of workplace death in the U.S.
Education Falsification
National Credit Verification Service reports that 25% of the MBA degrees it verifies on resumes are false.
Statistics
72% of shrinkage is due to employee theft.
34% of all job applications contain lies.
30% of small business failure is caused by employee theft.
