In today’s fast-moving workplace, safety and compliance don’t end with a one-time background check. Employers across North Carolina are realizing that while pre-employment screenings are essential, they only capture a moment in time.
What happens after someone is hired?
That’s where continuous monitoring comes in – a proactive layer of protection that alerts employers to new criminal activity or changes in eligibility between standard checks. Rather than replacing background checks, continuous monitoring serves as a smart supplement that keeps teams informed, compliant, and secure year-round.
If you’re already running fast, compliant background checks through Bchex, continuous monitoring is the next logical step for long-term safety.
Continuous monitoring is an ongoing process that automatically reviews public and criminal record databases to detect new charges, convictions, or other relevant updates related to an active employee, volunteer, or contractor.
Unlike traditional background checks – which are typically performed only at the time of hire – continuous monitoring provides real-time visibility into potential risks that arise after onboarding.
This means that if a team member in Charlotte, Raleigh, or Wilmington is arrested or charged with a serious offense, your organization can be notified immediately, rather than waiting months or years for a scheduled recheck.
