Remote Employee Investigations

While many companies offer remote employment, the current pandemic has created more opportunities for employees to work from home. This has allowed newfound freedom into the workplace & a boom in Remote Employee investigations. It has also opened up more chances of employees abusing the system. It can often be mistaken as employees are learning to adapt to this new way of working. While these may be excused with added training, there are, unfortunately, those that go out of their way to exploit the remote situation.

Business issues will still arise. It is the nature of the beast. What does a business do if they become aware or suspect some form of misconduct? First of all, it should primarily depend on if the issue warrants it. Before you hire a private investigator, make sure that what you suspect can’t be handled in-house. 

Why should you hire a Private Investigator?

• Private investigators are impartial. Meaning they are only interested in finding data and information only.
• Private investigators are trained to conduct a fair investigation.
• Private investigators will also have time to dedicate to the investigation so you can continue with the business.
• Due to the digital nature of remote work, a private investigator will also have the resources to work on the case.
• Private investigators are trained in computer forensics of all types, which will help them obtain the information you need.
• Private investigators are confidential and discrete in their work.
• A private investigator can identify witnesses and evidence that is relevant to the case.

• Data preservation and collection. With all the devices and programs used, collecting data will need to be granted by external providers or remote supervision.

• A private investigator can do data review as they’ll have the time and resources to dedicate to the job. They also work confidentiality for your assurance as some data may be considered private or demand utmost discretion like trade secrets as an example.
