Here is what the Step One Survey measures
Integrity
Does the person's attitude match that of an honest employee
who can be trusted not to steal from you?
Substance Abuse
Does the person's attitude about drugs match the attitudes
of employees who do not use drugs?
Reliability
Does the person's attitude regarding dependability and
being on time match the attitudes of employees with proven records of
dependability?
Work Ethic
Does the person have an attitude toward work that is
like the attitudes of long-term, hard working employees?
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.
Profiles International has an effective hiring tool
that empowers employers.
