In general, all organisations aim to hire trustworthy, loyal, hardworking and conscientious employees who will carry out their duties to the best of their abilities. Many organisations fail to see how employee behaviour can place them at risk, but all organisations face a certain amount of liability with the employees they hire. For example, an employee who tends to act impulsively or recklessly could make a thoughtless utterance on social media that could damage your organisation’s reputation and even result in loss of business. A disgruntled employee’s behaviour could result in poor performance and even sabotage to property.
We utilise individual and group profiles, along with an assessment of your organisational processes aimed specifically at identifying the behavioural risks your employees may pose to your organisation. To better understand the behavioural risks, it is a good idea to understand the behavioural preferences and personality characteristics of employees, as well as underlying issues that could contribute to these behavioural risks.
Behavioural risks could include:
- Reckless or impulsive behaviour
- Ignorant employees
- Negligent employees
- Disgruntled employees
- Pessimistic or negative employees
- Disengaged and unmotivated employees
- Low ethics/ morals
- Employees gossiping, disrespecting, bullying, causing conflict, disharmony amongst co-workers
- Insubordination
- Groupthink and destructive group behaviour, negative impact on co-workers
- Low morale
