Eaton
Corporation, a global diversified power management company, has
selected Acxiom®
Corporation (NASDAQ: ACXM) as the gold standard in background
screening services to help Eaton make informed hiring choices and
comply with laws and regulations.
Acxiom Information Security Services, Inc. (AISS), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Acxiom, has been awarded a five-year contract to be the
sole provider of Eaton’s pre-employment
and drug screening services in the United States and Puerto Rico.
“Hiring employees who are dependable and
trustworthy is the key to a company’s success,”
said Mike Cool, organization leader for AISS. “Eaton
will leverage Acxiom’s customer-centric
approach and industry-leading data resources to provide accurate
information about potential employees. This will help Eaton reduce
turnover, decrease training costs and increase productivity.”
“Eaton maintains high standards for all new
employees, and Acxiom has the skills and experience to screen candidates
and apply those standards consistently to each background report,”
said Eaton’s Stuart Otts, director of
employee relations.
Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, Eaton will use the AISS location in
the same area. “Eaton is excited that
Acxiom has a local office to help us manage our program consolidation
and provide compliance consulting,” Otts
added.
Acxiom began conducting the screening of all new hires for Eaton’s
U.S. and Puerto Rico locations in August.
“Acxiom’s
experience allows us to navigate the difficulties of ensuring the hiring
process is fair, while also maintaining the privacy of the individuals
involved,” Cool said. “Acxiom
provides comprehensive services to assist employers with regulatory
compliance and due diligence.”
“Acxiom’s
leadership in privacy regulations and data security issues is very
important to us,” Otts said. “The
commitment to full disclosure and regulatory compliance will be easily
integrated into the system we have in place to help us make the most
effective hiring decisions.”
