Eliminate profit-stealing behaviours!
Dishonesty is a workplace reality.
The results of employee surveys reflect the reality of your applicant pool:
* 56 percent of working people admit they have lied to their supervisors
* 41 percent say they have falsified records
* 64 percent admit using the Internet for personal reasons during working hours
* 35 percent have stolen from their employers, by their own admission
* 31 percent abuse drugs or alcohol
It makes sense before you hire that you should be able to answer these questions:
* Can this applicant be trusted?
* Is this applicant drug free?
* Is this applicant dependable?
* Will this applicant be a long-term, hard-working employee?
Promote positive behaviours.
* An honest day's work for a full day's pay
* Promptness
* Conscientious use of time and company resources
* High productivity
* Confidentiality of proprietary data and other information
* Dependability
* Employee loyalty
The Step One Survey is an employer's first step in evaluating a job candidate’s qualifications for employment. It has two parts, the first being a direct-admissions structured interview format that asks about recent work history, record of honesty, and related issues. The results of the "interview" are assessed by the company to evaluate the candidate's suitability for employment. The second part of the Step One Survey assesses the candidate’s attitudes toward integrity, reliability and work ethic. Profiles’ clients report that using the Step One Survey significantly improves turnover and cuts the problems caused by absenteeism and tardiness.
