Undercover Investigations: Limited amounts of companies need undercover operations but they are essential to providing safety in a workplace.

We will organize the hiring of a new employee to your company and "plant" them inside the company for a couple of weeks.

We attempt to use this time as a "employee" to develop answers to the questions your company needs to know the most.

Our investigators search for information and let it come to them.

Most of the time, employers never know what is going on in their stock rooms and or offices.

Most don't realize their employees shut their mouths when a boss enters the room. Let an insider get the information you need.

Some of these misconceptions about employee theft include:

• Most theft is caused by non-employees.
• Well-paid and/or senior employees are trustworthy/loyal and don't steal.
• Honest employees can be counted on to report employee theft.
• Employee theft is conspicuous and can be detected in its early stages.
• You don't need to formally inform employees that theft will not be tolerated.

Some reasons why employees steal:

• I am underpaid and I'm taking what I deserve.
• Everybody does it, besides, they can write it off.
• The company makes a large profit and I deserve some of it.
• The company angered me and I this is how I get revenge.

MILKING THE CLOCK: An employee falsifies his/her time card, or otherwise misrepresents hours worked, thus milking organization profits from others.

SWINDLING: Members of management including sales representatives who cheat or defraud customers, suppliers, investors, or others for personal gain.

EMBEZZLEMENT: Misappropriation of entrusted money or goods with the intent to defraud the legal owner. Padding expense accounts is a form of embezzlement.

SABOTAGE: The word "sabotage" originated in the Netherlands, where workers would throw their sabots (wooden shoes) into the wooden gears of the textile looms to break the gears. Some employees today even managers may commit sabotage to conceal their errors, to gain "comp" time, or to express their anger at their work, employer, or co-worker.

THEFT OF IDEAS: Theft of ideas, designs, formulas and other trade secrets is a growing problem for many American businesses.
