In order to address the concern of negligent hiring lawsuits, Yung should carefully scrutinize application forms and check references. This will help to ensure that the credit union is hiring employees who are trustworthy and have not engaged in activities that would make them high risks for theft or fraud. Additionally, obtaining consent to check references is important as it ensures that the credit union is legally allowed to do so. While ensuring selection criteria are based on job descriptions and job specifications, and adequately assessing the applicant's ability to meet performance standards are important steps in the hiring process, they do not specifically address concerns around negligent hiring lawsuits.
