Background screening practices continue to be one of the most litigated and legislated topics facing employers and businesses. With multifaceted compliance obstacles such as Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act practices, state consumer reporting laws, “Ban-the-Box” legislation, EEOC considerations on criminal history, and use of credit report restrictions, maintaining risk averse practices measured against industry practices is more important than ever.
To help ensure the SILA membership engages in practices that protect themselves and the industry as a whole, and to build off the trends and data collected in similar SILA surveys going back to 2016, the SILA SACS Background Investigations Task Group conducted another background investigation survey to anonymously gather data about the background screening practices of Insurance Carriers, Agencies, TPAs, Broker Dealers, and other similar parties. These results were collected at the close of 2025 and are being presented to the SILA membership and community by long time Task Group members Greg Kirsch and Matt Braunbeck. Greg and Matt will lead us through the survey responses so that we can use this information for best practices improvements and for general historical trending purposes.
