New AI-powered feature detects early signs of misconduct to secure organizations, identify threats, and protect culture.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — August 11, 2025 — Fama Technologies, the leader in online misconduct screening, today announced the launch of Pulse Employee Screening, a powerful new capability that enables HR and compliance leaders to proactively identify emerging risks in their workforce before they escalate into major incidents, lawsuits, or headlines.

“Employees are connecting and collaborating online more than ever before,” said Ben Mones, CEO of Fama. “Our new Employee Screening feature is designed to identify extreme misconduct, such as workplace violence, for a distributed and digitally connected workplace.”

This launch comes at a time when people risk is on the rise: online misconduct is up 50% year-over-year, threats have surged 180%, and nearly 1 in 4 workplace violence incidents involve a current employee. With Fama, HR teams can now schedule automated rescreenings that flag new risks since the last check, giving them a smarter, more efficient way to protect what matters most–their people.

Employee Screening Highlights:

• Ongoing Insight, No Monitoring: Schedule screenings post-hire or at regular intervals to catch misconduct risks without surveillance.
• Risk Signal Detection: Surface threats, violence, and harassing behavior that can stop your business in its tracks.
• Fully Compliant and Defensible: Built with FCRA, EEOC, PIPEDA, and GDPR compliance at its core.
• Protects Your People and Your Brand: Identify and address problems early to prevent culture fallout, employee turnover, disengagement, and PR disasters.

“Today’s rapidly evolving workforce demands smarter, more nuanced risk management,” added Mones. “With Employee Screening, HR leaders gain the power to stay ahead of misconduct threats, fostering safer workplaces and safeguarding reputation.”
