CRI Group conducted the background screening survey to measure the pulse of human resources in business worldwide during a challenging time of COVID-19 pandemic. The largest number (38 per cent) of survey participants were human resources professionals, but respondents also included managers (19 per cent), executives, directors, administrators (27 per cent) and other roles.

The survey revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting human resources at their company. There are also concerns about fraud, and the protection of confidential information as a large percentage of the workforce has gone virtual in work-from-home arrangements. Download the key takeaways of the survey below. The survey is being monitored by CRI Group.
