Security Assessment For Employees (SAFE™)

Linking Hourly Talent with Loss Prevention

Organizations have an opportunity to shore up the bottom line through controlling costs associated with loss prevention, such as theft, shrinkage, carelessness, sexual harassment investigation costs, and worker's compensation. Clearly, the occurrence of these loss prevention actions is distracting, damaging, and costly. One study puts the annual cost of employee theft in the retail industry at 1.2 billion dollars.

Whereas opportunity and other uncontrollable factors play a big role in these situations, the attitude, experience, and pre-disposition of the individual employee engaging in the act is a bigger and controllable factor. Organizations can now gain control by implementing SAFE™, a preventative hiring solution that keeps organizations from hiring employees who are prone to counter-productive workplace behaviors.

Creating Hourly Talent Through Selection Success

Implementing SAFE™ as a strategic component of an hourly employee hiring process has helped organizations save money through a decrease in loss prevention occurrences, such as cash over/short, food cost variance, and voids. SAFE™ is the result of a comprehensive, 18-month research study that encompassed hundreds of hourly employees across many different service organizations.

This dynamic and highly predictive tool measures the likelihood for each of the following, yielding a detailed Selection Profile and Follow-up Interview Report:

Organizational Counter-productivity: Cash & product theft; unreliability; alcohol & drug abuse; food handling
Team Counter-productivity: Sexual harassment; disrespect for others; anti-diversity
Overall Counter-Productivity

To ensure SAFE™ is easy to use and flexibly integrated into hourly hiring systems, the following administration and scoring formats are available:

Paper-and-pencil
CD-ROM
Applicant Tracking System/Hiring Management Systems integrations
