Close Proximity to Family: Domestic helpers often work in close proximity to family members, making it essential to have as much information as possible about their background, character, and past conduct. Risk Mitigation: By conducting background verification, families can mitigate the risks associated with hiring individuals whose history may pose potential threats to the household’s safety and well-being. Legal Compliance: Employers have a legal obligation to ensure the safety of their employees and household members. Conducting thorough background checks helps fulfill this responsibility and reduces the likelihood of legal complications arising from negligent hiring practices.
