A new resource , released today by Appriss Insights , authored by Vice President of Marketing and Business Development , Brian Kelly , explores how timely incarceration alerts or the initial report of potential criminal activity collected from correctional agencies , give employers the opportunity to identify warning signs in employee behaviour and provide counselling , training and other forms of assistance for their employees .

Post-hire continuous monitoring solutions , utilised by consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ) as part of their background screening packages , allow employers to proactively identify and manage potential problems within their employee roster – a critical feature in a ‘ gig economy ’ with many companies depending on a distributed workforce . These solutions strengthen company brands by reducing insider threats , protecting employees and customers and encouraging consistent , positive communication between employers and their employees .

When incarceration alerts inform employers about a criminal justicerelated event at the earliest point of possible intervention , employers can take meaningful action to protect stakeholders and avoid negligent retention employment claims .

However , not every incarceration leads to a conviction , and some employers will not want to take action based on an incarceration alert alone . In most cases , the initial incarceration alert is simply an early indicator that an employer should begin talking with an employee to address potential problems .

This encourages organisations to move from a punitive mindset in human resource management to a holistic one . Employers can be a force for meaningful social good and employee advocacy .

Forward-thinking employers are also exploring how robust criminal monitoring programmes can encourage fair chance hiring practices and improve employee retention rates .

The resource highlights five CRAs ’ continuous monitoring solutions that are improved by incarceration data that is timely , detailed and rich in personally identifiable information ( PII ). �
