Before
hiring, how much do you really know about an
employee's integrity, substance abuse, reliability
& work ethic?
Employee
surveys reflect the harsh realities of your
applicant pool:
-
56% of working people admit they have lied
to their supervisors
- 41%
say they have falsified records
- 64%
admit using the Internet for personal reasons
during working hours
- 35%
have stolen from their employers, by their
own admission
- 31%
abuse drugs or alcohol
The Enemy Within
Recent industry estimates indicate that nearly
80% of computer crime is committed by “insiders,”
at an estimated annual cost ranging from $100
million to as much as $1 billion. More than
one-third of all companies declaring bankruptcy
last year cited that they were "stolen
out of business" by their employees.
Upper-Levels
Pose Highest Risk
Employee theft and fraud averages about $2,000
per employee each year from your bottom line.
While rank-and-file employees have opportunities
to steal relatively small amounts, executives
may embezzle tens of thousands – even
millions of dollars from their employers. Could
there be a better reason to hire people worthy
of your trust?
What
Questions Can You Ask?
Increasing lawsuits have made it extremely difficult,
even illegal for you to ask important questions
to determine the integrity of a job candidate.
Past employers can be held liable for information
they give you. If you choose to avoid hiring
suspicious candidates, can you prove that you
did not discriminate? In the absence of objective
data, it is often impossible to demonstrate
that your decision was made objectively, without
regard to gender, race, age, etc.
