INTERNAL INFORMATION AUDITS
CEO’s and senior management today are faced with increasing business
challenges and liabilities unprecedented in history. They are entrusted with the
overall guidance of the company while ensuring proper management of the
company’s assets and its people. Accurate and specifically focused information
and knowledge are essential to complying with this obligation.
Most managing executives currently receive information, not from a first hand
basis, but after it has been filtered and interpreted by others. This
information flows up from the shop floor to the supervisors, then to the
mid-level managers, and on to the executive management team. One problem with
this fact is that people do not like to convey bad news, which may reflect on
their management success, or lack of it. Others simply do not take it upon
themselves to “get involved” and follow a less risky path of being silent. This
outcome often times results in senior management making decisions without
critical information ñ operating with a false sense of security.
TAKING CHARGE:
Impact Investigations, Inc. is a consulting business providing senior management
with an invaluable tool - an unbiased and unfettered flow of information coming
directly from the operations of your organization including both plant and field
locations. Our Internal Information Audits are designed to provide knowledge on
the critical success factors impacting your company. An information strategy is
developed which our consultants execute that will address informational needs
both in general and in problem specific areas.
Critical issues that can be impacting your business include:
• Inventory controls reflecting larger than acceptable shrinkage
figures.
• Gangs and drugs unknowingly infiltrating your work force.
• Collusion
• Products passed by inspectors that are not up to company
standards.
• Employees creating a hostile work environment with sexual
harassment.
• The general morale and productivity attitudes of your work
force.
These are just a sampling of problems, which could be evident, or emerging right
in the middle of your company. These areas of exposure provide today’s senior
management with real financial liability.
Internal Information Audits are conducted in a discrete manner. Our trained team
of consultants are selected based upon the unique characteristics of your
company’s environment. They are pledged to provide reports that will be honest,
reliable, and accurate.
Impact Investigations, Inc. can provide you with a source of information that is
not obtainable from anywhere else. Knowledge is gathered on a daily basis and is
delivered directly to the top executive who is controlling the investigation
within a weekly-summarized report. The adage, Information is Power, has moved
from being a clever phrase to one of critical strategic and financial necessity
in today’s competitive and litigious business arena. The evidence of it, or lack
of it, can and will impact your profits!
FACTS CONCERNING SUBSTANCE ABUSE
Sources quoted from the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce estimate that
between 10% and 30% of the work force uses drugs, while 10% of non-substance
abusers reported they were offered drugs while on the job.
According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, substance abuse in the
work place costs American companies $100 billion per year.
Employees who use drugs are less productive by 33 percent, are absent three
times as often, and are tardy three times as often. These employees will also
have accidents 3.6 times as frequently, incur 300% higher medical costs, and are
5 times more likely to file worker's compensation claims. It has also been noted
that employees with a substance abuse problem will steal from their companies to
support a drug habit.
