What is Rescreening?

Rescreening is the process of performing background checks on your existing employees at regular intervals — this may be every six months, once a year, or even five years. Exactly which checks and the frequency your organisation requires rescreening depends on the risk profile of particular roles, and the industry you operate within.

Best Practice Approach to Rescreening

Rescreening is becoming more widely adopted as a best practice approach across a range of industries, even outside of typically high-risk and regulated sectors such as healthcare and financial services.
Introducing a rigorous and thorough workforce rescreening program can help HR professionals to mitigate compliance and litigation risks.

Going Beyond the First Background Check

While an initial background check provides you with insight into a candidate’s history at that point in time, rescreening adds more granularity. Rescreening provides HR professionals with the opportunity to update an individual’s record with any relevant findings that may have occurred since joining your organisation.
Taking a proactive approach to rescreening and monitoring your workforce can alert companies of possible threats based on changes to individual circumstances, along with dynamic risks that may lead to embezzlement, fraud, theft, and violent behaviour.

Dynamic Checks for a Dynamic Workforce

Your workforce is dynamic and so too is the potential risk they may pose to your organisation – after all, they interact with your clients, represent your brand, and have access to key and often sensitive information. Throughout an employee’s work life, for even the most trusted of staff members, circumstances may change which could lead them down adverse paths.
Rescreening puts your organisation one step ahead and sends a clear message to your employees regarding your commitment to establishing and maintaining a safe and trusted workforce. Your team can be reassured that any breaks in employment or work changes such as promotions with increased responsibility, transfers to other departments, secondments, or acquisitions are covered by your reliable and robust Sterling rescreening program.

Risk Mitigation with Ongoing Background Checks

Keep up with your evolving workforce. A criminal conviction, fraudulent activity, or alarming financial behaviour may present a red flag, which many companies may miss because they don’t screen current employees, or only rescreen periodically.
Sterling can provide best practice guidance on rescreening if you’re already conducting background checks with us, or even if you’ve screened your current employees elsewhere.
