Retail

Screening may not be the at the forefront of an organisations thinking within retail industry, but it should be. Whether FMCG, high value/low volume, specialist, or any other sub-sector, you typically have high cashflow and significant capital tied up in stock. This is a significant risk vector for fraud, especially when your staff haven’t been appropriately screened. Adverse financial conditions or other indicators highlighted by comprehensive screening can be invaluable indicators of an individual’s potential for engagement in or inducement to theft, fraud or other malicious activity damaging to your business.

Reed Screening provides screening packages designed specifically for the needs of the retail industry, with packages pre-tailored to mitigate risk when hiring for popular roles such as facilities, sales assistants, or senior managers. We cover everything from permanent hires and fixed term contractors, to temporary/agency supply chain.

We can assure you that all your workers are screened to the high standard you need to ensure that your business is operating safely, efficiently and with appropriately qualified, responsible, and reliable staff.
