Training Overview
Are your background checks legally compliant? Ensure your clients, employees, and volunteers are safe.
Nonprofits are eager to resume their missions with new vigor. Savvy executives and HR professionals recognize that legal background checks of paid and volunteer staffers are crucial to protecting their organizations from \mission failure, public relations crises, and lawsuits. The loss of donor and board support is just one disastrous outcome when employees or volunteers run amok.
To bring the right people on board, you need to know when and how to conduct background checks. The right background checks for senior management candidates may not be the same as for more junior staffers, and both may differ from what is required to vet your volunteers.
