A 25-Point Action Plan that Audits Hiring Practices...For Businesses of All Sizes

Tempe, Arizona ? August 25, 2008 - Facts on Demand Press announces the publication of The Safe Hiring Audit by Lester S. Rosen, Esq., with Michael Sankey.  Hiring new workers is a complicated task. This new book teaches business owners and hiring managers how to perform an effective evaluation of their current hiring practices, identifies necessary changes, and instruct how to implement needed changes.

Laws associated with hiring have sought to achieve a balance between protecting privacy and due diligence. Using the Audit?s action plan of best practices assists a company?s compliance with key federal and state hiring laws, thus helping keep the company out of court and the workplace safe. According to Rosen, ?All companies must periodically audit their employment practices to insure due diligence and compliance with discrimination and privacy laws, and determine whether an organization is using the current best policies, practices and procedures.? Rosen added that an effective audit can help establish legally defensible practices for dealing with potentially problematic applicants.
