Employment verification is very important for accreditation purposes. It is very important to always record this information accurately and to avoid audits or any other issues.
Employment verification and collecting accurate data are crucial. These two, along with great communication amongst departments, can prevent errors in the long run. I liked the examples of Self-review, Peer review, and Final review.
Continuous improvement and verifying that data gets transferred over correctly before submitted for review.
Comment on July Canilao's post: I agree with your statement.
My key takeaway from this lesson is that continuous improvement should be a formal part of an employment verification program. There are many ways to continuously improve data collection and how to be detailed in record keeping. And also, communication is a key to successful data collection.
Employment verification processes are something that we should be evaluating on-going to help improve processes and efficiency, reduce errors and bring additional best practices to incorporate. I plan to do just that; pay attention to what works and what isn't working so well, if anything. If there are areas that I can make suggestions and share best-practices learned from others, I definitely will.
Continuous improvement should be a formal part of an employment verification program because it ensures the program remains effective, compliant, and aligned with organizational needs and regulatory changes. By consistently reviewing and enhancing processes, organizations can adapt to regulatory updates, employment laws and verification requirements and periodic review ensures compliance with current standards.
Having a workflow in place and being consistent in following the steps, eliminates room for errors. This makes for cleaner audits and accurate results.
I like the notion of having multiple internal employees to determine the validity of a placement.
My take away was accuracy is important. In order to have accuracy in the reporting particular workflows and standards need to be in place. Always communicate between departments and double check the data is entered correctly.
There are several ways to obtain employment verification and ensure accurate information. It is essential to build a good relationship between the student and the career services department, which will facilitate any needed information and improve the response.
Implementing processes such as an exit interview will improve things because a student can understand what pertinent information will be required to provide back to the school.
Data doesn't have much meaning if it is inaccurate. It is important to put systems and checks and balances in place in order to ensure your data is accurate.
This module for me really just put the proper emphasis on making sure records are kept organized and reviewed for any errors. I feel like at times it can be easy to feel like the process is mundane or not as important as other parts of the job, but when re-examined...employment verification definitely demands a high prioritization.
I have learned to be proactive with the students I am responsible for, and to make sure our employment verification processes are as tight and complete as possible. Also, if there is a question about whether or not a student is "placed" the decision should not be made by a single individual. Continuous improvement is key.
Reporting graduate employment can be a matter of compliance with the institution. Establishing standard operating procedures will eliminate errors that occur in the documentation process.
Self Review, Peer Review, Final Review.
Having other eyes on the data will minimize errors when dealing with critical data.
I learned about the different methods of verifying employment and the importance of properly verifying employment.
Having a workflow practice in place allows you to strive for perfection though it is not obtainable. Having a strategy vs. just winging it will help the students and the university in the immediate and long term.
Having partnerships and good communication will reduce errors when documenting data. Showing care and holding students accountable will aid in the process of being successful. It's also important to keep checks and balances in place when it comes to data and record keeping.
