Why do retailers need to run background checks?

Retail employees are trusted to handle money, manage expensive inventory, and interact with the public. To keep your store operating at the standard of your business and customers, managers must create a work environment that discourages theft, fraud, and violence.

Before hiring a candidate, conducting a pre employment screening can help you understand who you’re putting in charge of your store and in front of your customers.

Why do retailers use Triton?

A 2021 National Retail Federation survey found that employee theft costs retailers $1,551.66 per case on average, compared to $461.86 per shoplifting case. Moreover, less money is recovered from employee theft than from shoplifting. That means you stand to lose far more money from dishonest employees than shoplifters.

Why do franchises need to run background checks?

To start, franchisors need responsible franchisees to grow the brand. Franchisees have access to proprietary business knowledge, processes, and trademarks, so franchisors must ensure they’re partnering with trustworthy, reputable buyers.

From there, there are many other managerial and customer-facing roles that go into operating a successful franchise. These positions involve money, inventory, dealing with the public, and more.

Your team must be solid from top to bottom if you want to have success.
