Why is it important to select the right employees for a position?

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: First, a manager's own performance depends in part on his or her subordinates. Second, it is costly to recruit, hire, and train employees. Third, there are legal implications to incompetent hiring. EEO laws and court decisions require nondiscriminatory selection procedures for protected groups. Courts will find employees liable when employees with criminal records or other problems take advantage of access to customers' property to commit crimes. Hiring workers with such backgrounds without proper safeguards is called negligent hiring.
