If the average employee behaved even remotely like our presidential candidates have (as they compete like schoolyard bullies for a position that once held such high esteem), we would find ourselves on the unemployment line faster than Donald Trump can say, “You’re fired! ”, or Hillary Clinton can say, “Emails? What emails?”
On November 8th, the American people will be selecting someone to lead our country, and whether you are an employer or a voter, it is not unreasonable to ask the question: “If you ran a childcare service, or a bank, would you hire a candidate like Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump to run your business?”
Employers have a legal liability and ethical responsibility when it comes to employing the right person for the right job. Imagine Hillary Clinton running a childcare service, or Donald Trump, a bank. Choosing the right leader or manager for your company depends upon the integrity and reliability of a prospective candidate. You are, after all, are seeking to entrust your business [or our country] to a reliable and trusted leader. “There should be no difference between the way we hold business leaders or political leaders accountable.”, stated Lisa Garrett, President, Vero Integritas Global, Inc. “How can we expect companies to abide by the law, when the lawmakers who are responsible for creating and upholding the laws, are the most egregious violators and remain unabated?” asked Garrett. “You have to look at their track record. You have to consider their past performance.” , Garrett continued.
As either a voter or employer it is important to point out that negligent hiring, alone is a solid argument for taking another look at alternative candidates, like Libertarian Gary Johnson, Green Party candidate, Jill Stein, or Independent write-in candidate, Evan McMullin. Negligent hiring is a term used by the EEOC that employers should be familiar with as they recruit candidates, especially for positions with decision making authority. An employer should be aware of negative characteristics, i.e., bullying, deception, dishonesty, greed, lack of candor, sexual harassment, etc., in a candidates history which may adversely impact the workforce. Lack of due diligence spells trouble when it comes to negligent hiring. “Employees are the foundations upon which successful businesses are built, and when the wrong people are placed in leadership roles, the company’s reputation, profits, and long-term viability can be severely jeopardized.”, Garrett stated.
“As a Human Resource Consultant for more over nine years, I’ve heard stories that you just can’t make up”, stated Garrett. One story involved an employee who confided that on three consecutive occasions, with three separate companies, she was retaliated against for complaining that she had experienced breast grabbing, butt pinching, and crotch fondling at the hands of male counterparts who had the “power” to control her employment circumstances. She feared retaliation and job loss if she were to complain”, explained Garrett.
Vero Integritas Global has developed a revolutionary program called the Employee Relation System (ERS) to help strategize long-term solutions and help companies protect profits from EEOC charges that could significantly reduce working capital. The ERS system is designed to change the way employers handle the administrative burden of employee relations issues.
Companies who do not protect their employees by ensuring that their leaders know, understand, and legally comply with employment laws may find themselves using their profits to pay high-priced attorney fees to fight EEOC claims. “Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about who wins the upcoming election, but if you are an employer hiring leaders with questionable employment histories to manage your company, then you should check us out”, Garrett stated. “With the liabilities you would be likely to face, we can help you keep track of the information you may need to support your employment decisions or worse yet, to dispute a lawsuit that could bring your company to its financial knees.”
Vero Integritas Global, Inc., is preparing to unveil the BETA version of our Employee Relation System (ERS) and the new Conflict Resolution Service (CRS) at the New York Business Expo on November 10, 2016. “We will be at the Jacob Javits Center on November 10th”, EXHIBIT # 218. Come see us, you’ll have the chance to answer the question for yourself”, said Garrett.
