Preventing risks
Each business is fraught with a number of risks attributable to the specific nature of the business. Risks related to the human factor can be found in any business. The list below represents just some of the risks:
- Errors when hiring key managers
- Violations of technical safety instructions and regulations
- Errors when promoting employees
- Corporate fraud
Errors when hiring key managers arise owing to the overriding focus of personnel recruitment companies on formal criteria: a candidate’s work experience, education, etc. The personnel recruitment consultant's desire to “sell” a particular candidate to a company conflicts with the need for an objective assessment of the individual's competencies. Moreover the more senior the candidate's position and the more global the tasks that the candidate is expected to resolve, the harder it is to identify possible risks when recruiting through an interview process. It is often the case that recommendations do not make it possible to gain a full impression of the candidate, as the top manager may be successful in certain business environments, but turn out to be ineffective in a new environment.
Our independent expert assessment of candidates for top positions will enable the company to avoid possible losses attributable to the high salary of the top manager during the period of work, the payment for the company's service on personnel recruitment, and also the price of management errors committed by the employee.
Violations of technical safety instructions and regulations are often encountered at different levels of an organization. Such violations can have a tragic outcome not only for the actual employee, but also for the organization as a whole, and even for people unrelated to this organization, who may be unsuspecting victims of accidents, poor quality products or even man-made disasters. We help to identify employees inclined to break the rules , safety instructions and regulations, who may be the cause of accidents when working in critical sectors. We issue specific recommendations on how to deploy manpower and conduct events, in order to prevent critical situations arising from the human factor.
Errors when promoting employees occur owing to incorrect assumptions about an individual’s ability to cope with new challenges. To mitigate these risks, an organization needs a set of measures that ensure the correct determination of requirements for a new position and an accurate assessment of candidates for promotion based on set key criteria and established procedures for promotion. The occurrence of systemic errors in an organization is caused by the lack of any of these components or defects in such components. We help companies implement the correct employee promotion system, identify and correct defects in the existing system.
Corporate fraud may be intentional, attributable to the inclination of employees to perpetrate criminal actions, and also unintentional, due to the erroneous actions of employees. We develop programs and methods to investigate instances of fraud, and also to prevent and avoid them. We identify personality risks related to specific types of crimes and help to identify employees with an inclination to perform them. In this case we leverage technologies, based on unique research performed by our company’s experts.
