YOU CAN’T AFFORD NOT TO KNOW

On the job thievery and lack of a proper pre-employment screening program is costing employers billions of dollars. As quoted in the December 4, 2000 issue of the Boston Herald, “according to the National Retail Security Survey last year employee theft increased by two percent and employee theft accounts for 44.5 percent of lost inventory.” Employers lose an average of $213 in a shoplifting incident compared to $1,058 in an average employee theft incident, according to the survey. Negligent hiring, employee theft, employee turnover and workplace violence all lead to financial loss. In civil suits filed on behalf of those injured by an incident of workplace violence, out of court settlements average $500,000 and jury awards average $3 million dollars. Protect yourself, your customers and your employee population by making a sound business decision and adopting a proper pre-employment screening program.
