 What measures can be taken by the employer to prevent negligent hiring? Explain in detail.
Answer:-
Tips on How to Avoid Negligent Hiring Lawsuits
In these tough economic times companies may be thinking about saving time and money by cutting back on their employee screening programs. This would be a big mistake! If you hire a dangerous or unfit person without doing proper “due diligence” and harm occurs, you are opening yourself up to a negligent hiring lawsuit.
Here are several tips to help you avoid a negligent hiring lawsuit :
1. Create a Program
Create an employee screening program for your company. This program should document employee screening policies and procedures for each position in the organization.
2. Train to Ensure Hiring Managers Follow the Program
Train all hiring managers on the employee screening policies and procedures. Document this training.
3. Audit Employee Screening Program
Create an audit procedure to make sure the employee screening program is being followed throughout the organization. Document this procedure.
4. Ensure FCRA Compliance
If you are using a third party employee screening service make sure they are in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

(OR)
Answer 2:
There are quite a few different measures that can be taken to ensure that a firm hires the best possible candidates for open positions.  I suggest using Google to search for "best hiring practices."
Here are a few such practices:
·                                 Write a good job description that will attract the kinds of candidates you need.
·                                 Have professionals from the relevant department (rather than from HR) have the most contact with the candidate.
·                                 Give the candidate as much information about your firm as possible before the job interview.  This allows the candidate to talk more knowledgably and relevantly about your firm and his/her fit with your needs.
·                                 Interview in a way that lets your candidates show their skills instead of just talking about them.

 There are several sources that can identify the training needs. List & explain any five of such sources.
Answer:
·                                 Context Analysis. An analysis of the business needs or other reasons the training is desired. The important questions being answered by this analysis are who decided that training should be conducted, why a training program is seen as the recommended solution to a business problem, what the history of the organization has been with regard to employee training and other management interventions.
·                                 User Analysis. Analysis dealing with potential participants and instructors involved in the process. The important questions being answered by this analysis are who will receive the training and their level of existing knowledge on the subject, what is their learning style, and who will conduct the training.
·                                 Work analysis. Analysis of the tasks being performed. This is an analysis of the job and the requirements for performing the work. Also known as a task analysis or job analysis, this analysis seeks to specify the main duties and skill level required. This helps ensure that the training which is developed will include relevant links to the content of the job.
·                                 Content Analysis. Analysis of documents, laws, procedures used on the job. This analysis answers questions about what knowledge or information is used on this job. This information comes from manuals, documents, or regulations. It is important that the content of the training does not conflict or contradict job requirements. An experienced worker can assist (as a subject matter expert) in determining the appropriate content.
·                                 Training Suitability Analysis. Analysis of whether training is the desired solution. Training is one of several solutions to employment problems. However, it may not always be the best solution. It is important to determine if training will be effective in its usage.
·                                 Cost-Benefit Analysis. Analysis of the return on investment (ROI) of training. Effective training results in a return of value to the organization that is greater than the initial investment to produce or administer the training.
