Corra well understands there is nothing new about office politics and people dishing on you behind your back. Except maybe there is more of it today as we threaten to turn ourselves into a gossip mongering society. What with all the celebrity hype out there, it is small wonder this is the trend we are heading in.
The last thing your business needs are more gossips. More often than not gossips are viewed by other employees with a great deal of disdain. They can bring down morale and create the type of situations that may lead to costly liability and litigation issues for your company.
Weed them out through background checks. While it is not the total answer, a preemployment screening process will help in choosing the non-gossips from the gossips. Personal verification checks will certainly help assist you. Credit Reports may reveal certain behavior patterns and preoccupations gossips will often have.
So do yourself a favor and eliminate some risk. Background checks are cost effective. Check them out before you hire.
