Volunteer Background Checks & Tracking System Protects Nonprofits and Communities
According to the U.S. Department of Labor's “VOLUNTEERING IN THE UNITED STATES, 2008” report, 61.8 million people (26.4 percent of the population) volunteered at least once linking September 2007 and September 2008. With that many volunteers per year, some kind of volunteer background check and tracking system is obviously needed.
This need to grant a safe environment for the vulnerable populations that nonprofit organizations serve – including family, the elderly, and those people with special needs – has led to the need for a comprehensive and cost-effective volunteer tracking and risk management system to be made available to the nonprofit sector.
Realizing the safety and security of those served is a top priority, many nonprofit organizations have partnered with companies that grant criminal background checks that look for “red flags” such as drug felonies, domestic violence, child abuse, and sex offender crimes in the pasts of not only volunteers, but the employees of nonprofits too.
By screening out potential “terrible hires” with background checks, nonprofit organizations reduce liability while ensuring the safety of their members and communities served. The consequences of a poor hiring choice could include: negligent hiring lawsuits, decreased workplace safety, lowered productivity, and terrible publicity that could make securing donations extra hard.
To meet the specific requirements of nonprofit organizations, a comprehensive and cost effective web-based volunteer and employee tracking system must exceed other extra typical background check programs in order to grant volunteer, employee, and community protection at the local, regional, and national levels.
