One of the fastest growing classes of lawsuits in America today are those related to employment law. Within this category, the two fastest growing types are negligent hiring (the employer failed to meet the due diligence requirements and the employee caused harm) and negligent retention (the employer did not terminate the employee in the light of new information and the employee caused harm).
However, these lawsuits are relatively rare when compared to the rampant employer practice of “negligent on-boarding.” Negligent on-boarding is the #1 cause of costly, short-term employee turnover. In essence, negligent on-boarding is wasting the time and money spent to recruit and hire new employees by not giving them the guidance, tools, training, time, and attention they need to become productive, committed, engaged members of the team.
