When Employee Discussions Do Not Lead to Improvement, the Aaden Detectives Cologne Can Help.

Even with long-standing reliable employees, performance can decline – sometimes gradually over a longer period, sometimes within a relatively short time and to a noticeable degree. If, as an employer, you understandably cannot be satisfied with the reduced performance, you must get to the bottom of the matter, because otherwise it is hardly possible to counteract this decline in productivity. A personal conversation with the employee concerned is certainly the first and most direct step, but not every employee wishes to open up to their employer or supervisor – perhaps because the reasons lie in a violation of the law to the detriment of the employing company. In such cases, our detectives from Cologne can help with flexible investigative options (see below).

Possible Reasons for Reduced Performance

Various factors can be responsible for insufficient work performance: Is the employee demotivated? Perhaps they had been hoping for a pay raise or promotion that was denied? Are they perhaps ill but still working and therefore unable to access their full performance potential? Do they have family problems, for example a sick child or a parent in need of care, and are therefore unable to relax sufficiently during their time off? Or is your employee struggling with financial worries, possibly holding a second job that you do not know about, and as a result exhausted and unfocused?

Most of the reasons mentioned above are less relevant to the work of our corporate detectives from Cologne. But especially when it comes to unauthorized secondary employment, the surveillance carried out by the Aaden Detective Agency Cologne provides clarity: info@aaden-detektive.de.

Research – Surveillance – Infiltration

As already mentioned, the first step should come from you as the business owner by seeking a conversation with your employee. If this is unsuccessful, the Aaden Corporate Detective Agency Cologne can investigate the employee concerned and, if necessary, determine through surveillance what is behind the poor work performance. If this personal observation does not reveal any reasons for the behavior, placing a detective inside your company may be appropriate. Equipped with a plausible cover story, our investigator gains the trust of your employee and thus gets to the root of the reasons for the lack of effort.

Our experienced detectives in Cologne will be happy to advise you on the case-specific options for employee screening. We are available for a personal consultation at +49 221 9859 2399.
