Critical Guidelines You Need to Know Before Hiring Anyone
We don’t like to think about people doing harm to ourselves or others. The reality, however, is that we live in a country with one of the highest rates of financial crimes, including embezzlement, fraud, theft, etc. And, that’s just the beginning.
Let’s look at just a few statistics on what the FBI reports is the fastest growing crime in the U.S. – employee theft:
• U.S. Chamber of Commerce reports that $50 billion dollars are lost annually due to employee theft and fraud and that 20% of all businesses fail due to the same reason.
• According to an Ernst & Young Report, “White Collar Crime: Loss Prevention through Internal Control”, companies lose 1% to 2% of their sales to crime — most committed by, or in collusion with, employees.
Employee theft, negligent hiring, sexual harassment, and workers’ compensation fraud are just a few of the liabilities an employer has to face in today’s hiring environment.
