Big Brother Should Be Watching

The idea of a future dystopia where all of our actions are monitors and all of our decisions are made for us is a frightening one. Having everyone constantly monitored is not only an infringement of our civil rights, but also a way to lose all democracy and quickly find ourselves living in a totalitarianism world.

But that’s just in our private lives. In our working lives, we should expect to be held accountable for our actions, and to ensure that our actions are in line with the company’s ethos and general codes of conduct it may be necessary sometimes to conduct some form of monitoring.

There are many ways that companies can be protected from negative working attitudes and acts, from theft and absenteeism through to misconduct and general neglect of duties. However not all of these methods are as effective as they could be, leading staff members to find easy ways around them and still able to carry on regardless.

Whilst private investigations might seem a little farfetched for acts such as absenteeism and theft, they are actually much more common place that you might imagine. Corporate investigations can help vet staff to understand whether or not a workforce is dishonest. These private investigations can not only help to free up manager’s time from dealing with such issues, but they can also help to prove when a member of staff has been negligent or worse.

One of the principal benefits of corporate investigations is that they are fast and effective, whilst also being unbiased meaning that you can be sure that the staff you employ are doing their jobs and doing them right.

Whilst no one wants a world where we are all being watched all the time, no one wants to be taken for a ride either.
