If you’re applying for a job, your future employer might run a background check. These checks may include some combination of an investigation into the employee’s credit score, criminal background, and even social media activity. Most companies consider it a good investment to spend a few hundred dollars per candidate to avoid a problem hire. Consider what the EEOC says about Backgrounds checks and then participate in the following discussion.

Read: Background checks: What Employers Need to Know

In at least 400 words, detail your thoughts on background checks from your field’s (BUS) perspective.

1. To what extent does/can a background check mitigate harmful situations in workplaces? If you have a story that relates to this question, please share it.

2. Publicly available social media accounts can be accessed without the consent of the employee. What should employees do to get their social media accounts ready for the job market?

3. What are 5 data points that should be a part of a background investigation in your field?

For this assignment, you will be asked to choose one of three topics from the list below,
research it using quality sources, and construct a polished, well-organized essay that is 6-8
pages in length (not including the cover page or reference page).  This paper must be written in
APA formatting and should feature a reference page with at least 10 sources.  These sources
should represent a blend of relevant books, journals, and articles from the open web.

I’m working on a management discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Question 1: Chapter 11 covers several topics that should be addressed by employee counseling and intervention. Given the current work environment, which of these topics should be the priority for the HRD of an organization to address and prevent? Elaborate your suggestion.

Question 2: Using your knowledge of the stages of life and career development, explain how the career issues of a 27-year-old differ from those of a 45-year-old. What are the organizational implications of the issues you identified?

Question 3: Peer coaching is characterized by equal status of partners, focus on personal and professional development of both peers, and integration of reflection and practice (Parker, Hall, & Kram, 2008). Have you had any experience or observations on peer coaching? Explain your understanding of the pros and cons of this peer coaching as a practice for human resource development.
