The 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 “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.
