During the holidays, life gets a little busier with gift exchanges and the party circuit. Between the influx in business, the holiday events, and valuable items, this time of year is also riskier for companies and business owners than the other 11 months. Here are some unforeseen risks, and how a private investigator can help you avoid them.
Seasonal Employees: If you’re a manager or business owner who deals with seasonal employees, you know it’s unpredictable. Identify fraud, theft, and a host of other dangers can happen when you need to increase your staff quickly. The risk of being taken advantage of by someone who only has temporary ties to your business is high, and you can never be too careful about risk management. A private investigator has the resources to conduct thorough background checks on seasonal employees, both quickly and discreetly, so that you can protect your business without hurting productivity. PI-conducted background checks are more extensive than the standard online tools that are available, and have been known to catch hidden records and ties to competitors.
Security Audit: Hosting large-scale corporate events or meetings can be logistically challenging, but they can also put you at risk for security issues. A private investigator can also conduct security audits, which entails surveying your building to look for any and all security threats or holes in current security protocol. Your investigative team is trained to use professional technology and surveillance to identify the best possible plan of action that you can implement prior to the holidays and before any issues occur.
Asset Protection: When it comes to whether it’s a gift for someone lucky or you need to move valuable assets by the end of the year, protection beyond a standard insurance policy is necessary. Most people aren’t aware that private investigators are also trained in asset transportation. Our PIs are trained in professional security, with a specialty in protecting high-value items. This means your investigator will travel with the item or person who needs a security escort, ensuring a safe delivery.
Protecting yourself and your business during the holidays is key. Using a PI is an easy way to safeguard yourself during a vulnerable time, and our team is happy to help you with more information or a consultation.
