Step
One Survey II™
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 ìinsiders,î 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.
Profiles International has an effective hiring tool that empowers employers.
