An inexpensive and effective way to find problems typically hidden from management is to infiltrate them with an undercover agent. According to statistics, most workplace crimes are conducted with the knowledge of other employees. These employees may not necessarily support the behaviour, but they choose not to report it out of fear of intimidation and retaliation.
What an undercover agent does:
- Adopt a false identity
- Perform electronic surveillance
- Identify dishonest employees
- Search for missing persons
- Detect fraud
- Infiltrate organised crime.
