 Employee/Management Misconduct Phil and his team of specialized associates understand the delicate balance between legal, psychological, and investigative issues when dealing with misconduct by employees, members of management, or co-owners. After a careful assessment including preliminary investigation, a comprehensive resolution plan is prepared and presented for consideration. If acceptable, the plan is implemented to successful conclusion. Threats/Violence/Harassment Increasingly, society is becoming a human pressure cooker. This can be seen in many sectors of society including the workplace. From multiple homicide, assaults, sabotage, and many other forms we know that a certain number of people will act out frustration and aggression in the workplace. The civil and moral liability resulting from the worst case scenarios is obvious. Employee morale, lost productivity, media attention, and inevitable lost revenue can and will irreparably injure or destroy a successful business. These cases require the utmost care to avoid catastrophic outcomes. Embezzlement/Theft According to the US Chamber of Commerce, employees steal between $30 to $100 billion each year, and is the reason for 30% of business failures. A trusted bookkeeper, controller, or partner creates fraudulent payable documents, payroll, expense documents stealing cash until detected. A sense of entitlement or financial need based on addiction or other personal issues leads to increasingly larger losses until detection. The key to intervention in these cases is discrete investigation followed by a careful plan of action. Phil has been a fraud investigator for 35 years. Along with other expert team members he is able to determine how the theft is taking place, who is involved, and how extensive the activity has developed. Read Case Study Drug/Alcohol The loss to companies in the United States due to alcohol and drug-related abuse by employees totals $100 billion a year, according to the The National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information. Substance abuse drives much of the destructive behavior affecting employee morale, safety, and productivity in the workplace. While most businesses have drug/alcohol policies, education, and assistance programs a particular individual may present special safety, public relation, and security issues which require innovative investigative solutions. |
