The Front Line of Defense- Employee Background Checks

I speak often to the front line of defense that retailer’s should implement concerning merchandise and inventory security. The front line of defense also relates to company assets- including your employees. If you are not conducting employee background checks, you are failing to support your front line.

Your front line defense as it relates to your employees is the line of communication and representation between your company and your customers. If this front line does not represent your business, as you see fit, your sales will suffer from customers who leave and will not come back.

Customers are very in tune with how employees act and interact. Often, our customers see and understand more about our employee’s behavior than what we ever will. They see them at their best and also at their worst. Your customers see the actions of our employees when we are not there. That is the most important time to understand what our employees are doing.

They are not going to act out when we are there, they will act out when we are not. If we have hired employees who do not have drive, motivation or integrity, it will become most apparent the second we leave the building.

Pre employment screening and other employee background checks help to keep your front line strong. You can better ensure these employees have the knowledge, skill, and integrity that you need them to have in order to fully represent you to the best of their abilities.
