Step One Survey II
When considering a potential candidate for a role in your organisation, how much do you really know about their attitudes towards substance abuse, integrity, work ethic & reliability?
Recent employee surveys provide some startling realities in the workplace:
- 56% of working people admit they have lied to their supervisors;
- 41% say they have falsified records;
- 64% admit using the Internet for personal reasons during working hours;
- 35% have stolen from their employers, by their own admission;
- 31% abuse drugs or alcohol;
Could there be better reasons to ensure you employ people worthy of your trust?
In recent times however, legislation has made it extremely difficult if not illegal for you to ask certain questions of a job candidate to determine their integrity, and past employers can be held liable for negative references they provide regarding a prospective candidate.
If you choose to avoid hiring suspicious candidates based only on your “impression” or “gut feel”, can you prove that you did not discriminate? Without objective data to assist with your decision, it is often impossible to demonstrate that your decision was made without regard to gender, race, age, etc.
The Step One Survey II from Profiles International is an effective hiring tool that empowers employers to know more about the candidates they are considering for roles within their organisations. It is a scientifically developed pre-employment assessment tool that evaluates candidates’ attitudes towards substance abuse, integrity, work ethic, and reliability. The SOS II empowers you with a structured solution that enables you to obtain objective information, identify the best candidates, and conduct better interviews.
