Why Attend Elga's Intensive HR Generalist Certificate Program?

Attending our 2-Day "Mastering HR Fundamentals: Intensive HR Generalist Certificate Program" presents a unique and invaluable opportunity for professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of human resources.

Among so many different topics, as the instructor for this certificate program I will cover the difference between, negligent hiring, negligent referral, negligent investigation, negligent training, negligent retention and negligent supervision.

What best defines 'negligent referral' in the context of employment?

a) Failing to check an employee's references before hiring.

b) Providing a positive reference for a former employee without disclosing their known detrimental behaviors.

c) Offering a negative reference based on personal bias.

d) Referring an employee for a promotion within the company regardless of their substandard performance.

Negligent referral: occurs when a previous employer fails to disclose significant negative information about a former employee during the reference check process, information that could potentially be harmful or poses a risk in the new workplace.

This non-disclosure can lead to legal consequences if the employee’s behavior, previously known to the former employer, causes harm or issues in the new workplace. It is a matter of ethical and legal responsibility for employers to provide accurate references, including any relevant negative aspects. While maintaining professionalism and confidentiality, employers are obliged to give a truthful account that does not mislead the inquiring party.

Negligent Hiring: This is a legal claim made against an employer who hires an individual they knew, or should have known, was unfit for the position, potentially leading to harm or injury to others due to the employee's unsuitability.

Negligent Investigation: This occurs when an employer inadequately investigates the background or conduct of an employee, leading to the oversight of critical information that could have prevented harm or liability.

Negligent Training: This refers to an employer's failure to provide necessary training to their employees, resulting in injury, harm, or damage due to the employees' lack of skills or knowledge required for their job responsibilities.

Negligent Retention: This involves an employer’s failure to terminate an employee when they have knowledge, or should have knowledge, that the employee poses a risk of harm to others, often following incidents that demonstrate the employee's unsuitability for their position.

Negligent Supervision: This pertains to an employer's failure to adequately monitor and oversee their employees’ actions, resulting in harm or injury due to the lack of proper oversight, especially when the employee's conduct could have been foreseen and prevented.

Thus, option b accurately captures the essence of negligent referral, emphasizing the duty of the previous employer to disclose material negative facts about a former employee's conduct or performance that are pertinent to the role they are being considered for.
