之前,我们探讨了为什么背景筛选供应商和承包商的流程很重要,并且我们解决了一些最常见的障碍,以简化程序。现在,我们将深入研究从蓬勃发展的劳动力筛查计划中收集到的最佳实践。
我们已经讨论过制定一项政策来确定您将进行背景筛选,以及您将进行背景检查,然后始终如一地实施该政策。鉴于实施可能是推出扩展劳动力筛选计划中最具挑战性的步骤,您从哪里开始?确定如何执行您的政策并确保您的供应商按照您设置的准则工作是一个很好的起点。
授权和监督
强制和监控是一种政策方法,它要求供应商进行背景筛查,并且您要积极监控临时工以确保所有筛查都已完成。在这种情况下,所有扩展劳动力的个人都将接受背景筛查。通过从这样的政策开始,您的实施计划会变得更加清晰。在授权和监控场景中,公司要求供应商为每个筛选的申请人提交访问请求,然后公司根据背景筛选结果做出访问决策。您的公司可能会选择审核预定数量的候选人,或每个候选人。“授权和监控”方法提供了一定的灵活性,因为可以对供应商提交的每个请求做出访问决定。
将您的政策纳入供应商合同
确保成功实施的另一个建议步骤是将您的新政策作为合同的附录,或将政策包括在您的供应商合同续签中。这确保您的供应商清楚您的要求是什么,继续前进。
给一个宽限期
由于沟通是任何成功实施的关键,因此请务必将新的扩展劳动力筛选政策提前通知当前供应商。给他们一个宽限期以进入您的新计划。当宽限期结束时,强制执行您的程序。
让供应商直接筛选
如果您受到预算的限制,请让您的供应商直接管理背景的订购和背景调查的支付。这使您可以显着增加筛查计划的范围,而无需增加预算。
将控件放置到位
实施控制措施,确保您的外勤员工 100% 得到筛查。这可以通过以下方式实现:
在确认通过背景调查之前不管理徽章
在确认通过背景调查之前不向临时机构付款
审核具有统计意义的供应商群体样本,以确认通过了背景调查
合并为单一的背景筛查解决方案
当您必须与多个背景筛查解决方案和/或提供商打交道时,几乎不可能实施必要的控制。相反,当所有供应商和临时工通过一个平台时获得的效率是显而易见的。
为临时工制定筛查计划的想法可能令人生畏,但通过适当的政策和控制措施,您可以有效地筛查这部分劳动力并帮助降低风险。
background screening vendors and contractors is important, and we worked through some of the most common roadblocks to a streamlined program. Now we will delve into best practices that have been gleaned from thriving extended workforce screening programs.
We have already discussed getting a policy in place to determine who you will background screen, and what you will background check for, and then implementing this consistently. Given that implementation is likely the most challenging step in rolling out an extended workforce screening program, where do you begin? Determining how to enforce your policy and ensure that your vendors are working within the guidelines that you have set up is a good starting point.
Mandate and Monitor
Mandating and monitoring is one policy approach that requires vendors to perform background screening, and you to actively monitor contingent labor to see that all screening is carried out. In this situation all extended workforce individuals would be background screened. And by starting with policy like this, your implementation plan becomes clearer. In the mandate and monitor scenario, a company mandates a vendor submit access requests for each applicant screened, and then the company makes an access decision based on the background screening results. Your company may choose to audit a predetermined number of candidates screened, or every single candidate. The “mandate and monitor” approach provides some flexibility, as an access decision can be made on each request submitted by the vendor.
Work your policy into your vendor contracts
Another suggested step to ensure a successful implementation is to include your new policy as an addendum to your contract, or include the policy in your vendor contract renewal. This makes certain that your vendors are clear about what your requirements are, going forward.
Give a grace period
Since communication is key to any successful implementation, be sure to provide advance notice to current vendors of your new extended workforce screening policy. Give them a grace period to move into your new program. When the grace period is up, enforce your program.
Have vendors screen directly
If you are constrained by budget, have your vendors manage the ordering of the backgrounds and payment of the background checks directly. This allows you to increase the reach of your screening program dramatically without having to increase your budget.
Put controls in place
Put controls in place that will ensure your extended workforce is screened 100% of the time. This can be achieved by:
Not administering a badge until a passed background check is confirmed
Not paying a temp agency until a passed background check is confirmed
Auditing a statistically significant sample of your vendor population to confirm passed background checks
Consolidate to a single background screening solution
It’s virtually impossible to put the necessary controls in place when you have to deal with multiple background screening solutions and/or providers. Conversely, the efficiencies gained when all vendors and temps go through a single platform are clear.
The idea of putting a screening program in place for contingent workers can be daunting, but with the proper policies and controls in place, you can effectively screen this segment of your workforce and help mitigate risk.
