Cincinnati-based Great American Insurance Group and Accurate Background Inc. have formed a strategic partnership to help companies prevent workplace violence, theft and losses. Using the services provided by Accurate Background, Great American now has the ability to offer their insureds high quality screening services at competitive prices.
Lake Forest, Calif.-based Accurate Background, a full-service background screening company, will be conducting various types of background screening and consultation as part of Great American’s crime insurance initiatives designed to benefit Great American’s insureds. Companies purchasing Fidelity/Crime insurance from Great American will be able to screen present and future employees and vendors, enabling them to avoid applicants who provide them with false information.
Background screening and crime insurance have been around for some time but in this post-Sept. 11 era, the need is even more profound. A recent survey conducted by Privacy & American Business magazine found that 91 percent of workers approve of background checks for criminal records.
