Thank you for signing up for our webinar centered around hiring risks.

During the webinar, Alan Lasky from Universal Background Screening discussed reducing risk through form and process compliance. He also addresses criminal reform and the importance of having a standardized, yet case by case program in place.

There is a lot of uncertainty and questions regarding how the legalization of marijuana in some states will affect the way employers test their new hires. Scale Funding invited Judy Praska, from Fastest Labs, to share what she has seen and heard from her staffing agency clients and the impact the legalization of marijuana has had on employee performance in the workplace.

Employers small and large are craving some semblance of “business as usual”. With the Covid-19 vaccinations now being rolled out, you may be seeking guidance regarding vaccination policies, mandates, and processes. As a staffing owner, you also have your client company policies to consider. We had Chris Leddy from Becker Law firm join us to speak on this topic and answer any questions and concerns asked by the attendees.
