One of my favorite shows growing up was a program called This Week in Baseball, hosted by the legendary Mel Allen.  They had a great segment called “TWIB Notes” (This Week In Baseball Notes) which recapped the previous week’s highlights in Major League Baseball.

We thought we’d steal borrow a page from them and will be bring you employeescreenIQ’s version of TWIB Notes (This Week in Background Checks) with highlights of materials posted on employeescreen University and our blog.  So, we’ll start our first ever TWIB Notes with links to the following highlights from this week.
