Understanding Secret Shopper & Employee Integrity Checks
Secret Shopper and Employee Integrity Checks are essential investigative services designed to help businesses evaluate their operations from a different perspective—through the eyes of an impartial third party. These services are critical for companies that seek to enhance their customer experience, ensure compliance with policies, and prevent internal issues such as theft, fraud, or misconduct.
Our Secret Shopper service focuses on evaluating employee performance and customer interaction, simulating the experience of a real customer. Our investigators enter your establishment as regular shoppers or clients, interacting with employees to assess their professionalism, customer service, and product knowledge. This service helps you understand how your staff performs under pressure, ensuring that your business meets industry standards.
Meanwhile, Employee Integrity Checks focus on assessing the integrity and behavior of your staff members, both in terms of their work ethic and personal conduct. These checks can be used to investigate suspicions of internal theft, misconduct, or any behavior that may jeopardize the reputation or security of your organization.
By implementing these services, you can ensure that your employees are aligned with your company’s ethical standards and operational guidelines.
