Exclusive: Are Your Employees Setting Up a Competing Business? The Investigators New Zealand Can Help
May 17, 2023 | Business Crime, Fraud
Is your employee secretly working a second job, or worse, setting up a competing business? This is a concern that keeps many business owners awake at night.
In an age where information is as valuable as gold, your company's survival could be at risk if confidential data or clients are being stolen right under your nose.
But worry not. Our team at The Investigators New Zealand, with decades of experience under their belt, is your trustworthy partner in uncovering this clandestine behaviour.
You might be asking yourself, 'What's the harm in employees having a secondary job?' The issue arises when these second jobs infringe upon your business's interests or when an employee starts a competing business. This can result in various risks including loss of clients, theft of intellectual property, lowered productivity, and conflict of interest. Let's delve into these risks.
The Risks of Secondary Employment
1. Loss of Clients
One of the most significant risks is losing your hard-won clients. Imagine, you've spent years building relationships with your customers, only for an employee to woo them over to their new business. This scenario is not just hypothetical; it happens more often than you'd think.
2. Theft of Intellectual Property
Your intellectual property is the backbone of your business. When an employee secretly starts a competing business, there's a high chance they may be tempted to use your company's intellectual property to gain an unfair advantage.
3. Lowered Productivity
Employees engaged in secondary employment often have divided attention and reduced productivity. Their primary focus might be on their own ventures, affecting the quality of work they deliver at your organisation.
4. Conflict of Interest
When an employee starts a competing business, it is inevitable that they will face a conflict of interest. They might make decisions that are not in the best interest of your company, causing detrimental effects in the long run.
Now, are you asking yourself, 'How can I protect my business?' The answer is straightforward: you need to be vigilant and proactive. When you suspect that an employee might be engaged in secret secondary employment, immediate action is necessary. But how can you be sure?
