Employee Monitoring | Surveillance

Covert surveillance, especially in connection with the review of suspicious employees, is the core task of the Aaden Detective Agency Stuttgart. Our investigators, who are highly trained in investigative tactics and also experienced, obtain court-admissible evidence of employee misconduct to the detriment of employers while maintaining discretion: +49 711 7153 011-0.

First Step = Prevention: Applicant Screening

Employee screening begins even before hiring. If you intend to employ a new applicant – possibly for a position of trust – a thorough review of the individual and the information provided in the application is strongly recommended. Even a certificate of good conduct (formerly: police clearance certificate) has only limited informative value, as it only records capital crimes, property offenses, and sexual offenses, but not, for example, suspended juvenile sentences, nor offenses punished with no more than 90 daily fines or 3 months’ imprisonment, nor initial convictions of drug-dependent offenders whose sentences do not exceed two years and whose enforcement was suspended in favor of therapy and subsequently probation after successful treatment. Consequently, there are already numerous uncertainties regarding applicants’ criminal histories that should be examined by our corporate investigators in Stuttgart before employment.

Applicants are also highly inventive when it comes to embellishing their résumés, references, and proof of qualifications and often do not shy away from – sometimes blatant – falsification of such documents. Our investigators at the Aaden Detective Agency Stuttgart thoroughly research the background of candidates, question inconsistencies if necessary under pretext with previous employers or (former) neighbors, and thereby provide you with a high degree of security when selecting potential employees: info@aaden-detektive-stuttgart.de.

Clarifying Cases of Damage with Court-Admissible Evidence

Once an employee has been hired, you inevitably have to rely on their loyalty. The fact is – and this is reassuring – that the majority of employees act reliably and honestly, but not all. From minor offenses such as taking office supplies for personal use to targeted theft of valuable company property and even industrial espionage for a competing company, disloyal employees do not shy away from any misconduct. Approximately one third of economic crime is attributable to offenses related to employment relationships (2014), and around half of these acts are committed directly by employees or with their assistance (facilitation).

As an entrepreneur, doubts about the reliability of certain employees usually arise only after damage has already occurred. Therefore, if you have an initial suspicion that one or more of your employees are acting improperly, for example by frequently submitting (false) sick notes, claiming disproportionately high expenses, showing a significant decline in work performance, or similar behavior, you should consider an early review of the individual(s) in order to prevent further damage. The experienced detectives of the Aaden Detective Agency Stuttgart will be happy to advise you on a case-specific basis, conduct investigations with utmost discretion, and ultimately provide you with court-admissible evidence.

Measures to Protect the Working Environment and Maintain Workforce Performance

The interpersonal dynamics among your employees can also present challenges: bullying and sexual coercion are offenses committed by employees against other employees and are often difficult for you as well as for those affected to prove. Our male and female detectives in Stuttgart are also experienced in handling such sensitive matters and investigate discreetly within your company, for example through undercover employee deployment, in order to prove such misconduct.
