Analyze where you are vulnerable.  Make sure you have the best employees in your organization.  Remember, tough economic times mean some people are desperate to get jobs.  Do thorough background checks when hiring your staff.  People need to work and sometimes desperate times create desperate measures.  Lying on a resume is a sure fire way for someone to look better than another applicant and get the job that pays the bills.  Time will tell, but we expect to see more people claim degrees they don't have, employment titles and even salaries the didn't earn.  It is imperative that companies do a quality employment background check.  Please do not us the economy as the excuse to have to cut cost on employment screening.  Reality is economics conditions affect your organization's revenue, but decisions you make also affect your profits.  There are tools available to vet your current staff, aside from the liabilities you have with new employees,potential criminal acts committed by current employees can cause you the same heartache.  It is within hope that we have learned a lot during these tough times.
