As the practice of using the polygraph in business has shown, this tool is one of the effective methods for preventing risks, in addition to the security department of the enterprise. Enterprise security professionals are happy to work with us because we complement each other and show great results in our work. But business owners are often afraid to make the decision to use a polygraph in the company, because they have some fears and worries. In this article, we’ll talk about our research on this topic and rank business owner fears about polygraph testing employees.
1. Fear of leaking information to third parties.
Our company has a rule that we prescribe in the contract – if during the examination the subject began to disclose any information regarding the specific nuances of the work of the company’s financial, economic, legal services, issues of optimization and minimization of taxation, etc., the polygraph examiner will stop the examination and ask to answer questions that relate directly to the duties and functions of this employee’s company. Responsibility is clearly fixed by a legal document – a contract on non-disclosure of commercial information.
2. Fear of having problems with the law, obliging the employee to undergo a polygraph test.
We take into account the fact that you cannot force an employee to take a polygraph test, and we are aware that forced testing entails problems with the law. Therefore, they developed a clear scheme for the introduction of the polygraph, when employees give their consent in writing at the stage of employment, by signing a statement of voluntary consent to take a polygraph, and a signed employment contract, which contains the same clause. That is, when conducting diagnostics at the entrance to the company, employees give written consent and are already accustomed to the company’s rules.
3. Fear of dismissal of a critical number of employees, business stoppage due to lack of personnel.
The logic of the work of the “Stimul” company removes the illusion of an imaginary 100% well-being, but at the same time it says the following:
Gives an understanding of who you can rely on in business with 100% confidence;
Who exactly can be “pulled up” to an ideal employee and at the expense of what;
Gives an understanding of which employees require replacement, where efficiency is declining – in which departments, people. And here we do not propose to “chop with checkers” from the state of affect, but propose to prescribe a step-by-step plan for systematic “treatment” of the team according to the algorithm developed by us, and replacement of critical and dysfunctional employees with new ones;
In practice, only up to 6-10% of employees require immediate dismissal.
4. Fear of losing key employees.
You may know or guess about the fraud and theft of staff, but you understand that if you fire a unique specialist, work will stop and profits will fall.
The problem is that if the owner guesses that this or that employee is engaged in fraud, then the whole team already knows this. In this case, the effect of the semantic field is terrible, when another employee thinks in logic “if it’s possible for one, then it’s possible for me …”. The team always knows who pretends to work; who is consistently late for work; who “earns” how, etc.
An example of a rotten apple can be cited as proof – if there is at least one rotten apple in a basket of apples, then after a while all the other apples will also rot.
As one of our favorite customers said: “I’d better know where the breakdown is in my car, and slowly drive to the service station and carry out repairs. Than driving a car with malfunctions and with your eyes closed.
5. Fear of not getting the desired effect.
If the business owner wishes to receive recommendations from businesses that already use the polygraph, then it is possible to arrange a meeting or contact by phone.
6. Fear of wasting money on polygraph tests. The polygraph can be fooled.
A polygraph cannot be deceived, because it is just a machine that removes the psychophysiological indicators of a person’s stress. It is possible to get an unreliable result only if the polygraph examiner is not an experienced specialist. Our team employs only highly qualified specialists with experience of 5 years, proven by many years of practice, certified by the All-Ukrainian Association of Polygraph Examiners.
7. I have already tested employees on a polygraph, I did not like the result.
For efficiency, a set of measures, their quality and consistency are important. It is important not only to get information about employees, but also to know what to do with it further, how critical it is for the business. At the same time, the information itself should not be superficial, but structured, digitized, giving clarity of understanding of what it is worth. Stimul provides a systematic approach.
