Current topic: Employee Background Screening: Prevent fraud before it happens with a comprehensive background check. In South Bend, Indiana, healthcare employers are hoping to get a fraction of what they lost from the head of the healthcare holdings company who cost them millions of dollars through fraud. Sadly, if history continues to repeat itself, they won't get much back. According to the Justice Department, insider theft is growing 14% annually, and one third of employees steal from their employers. Fraud is an easy way to steal from an employer if you have access to sensitive information, including book-keeping, cashier work, and any job that includes the management of funds. And the trouble with fraud detection is that by the time you've figured out what's going on, the funds are usually gone. Even if those healthcare employers in Indiana can win restitution for what they lost, one person isn't likely to make and pay back that much money in their lifetime. So what leads a employee to fraud? Poor hiring practices. Employees who steal often do so for personal reasons that are detectable if you're a careful employer, and you practice appropriate background screening. People with drug addictions steal, people with severe credit problems steal, people with a criminal record for fraud or embezzlement are more likely to steal. This is why EBI offers drug screening, a complete credit check, and criminal records background screening for all our clients. Employees steal over a billion dollars every week in this country.
