The Risks of an Unwatched Overseas Office
If you can’t watch your overseas office, your company faces serious risks. Good oversight is key to stopping these problems before they start.

Common risks include:
- Fraud or Theft: An employee might feel like they can steal money or company secrets without getting caught.
- Lazy or Negligent Work: Are your employees really doing their jobs? Some may take advantage of the freedom, which hurts your business.
- Leaking Company Secrets: A dishonest employee could sell your business plans or client lists to a competitor.
- Hurting Your Company’s Reputation: If an employee acts in a bad way, it makes your whole company look bad. This is a key concern in our business reputation checks.
- Breaking the Law: An employee might be breaking local laws, putting your company in legal danger without you even knowing it.
Why Managing from Far Away is Hard
Managing a team in another country is tough. Even with video calls and email, big challenges remain.

- You Can’t See What’s Happening: You can’t just walk down the hall to check on things. You have to trust reports, which might not be the full story.
- Cultural and Language Gaps: It’s easy to misunderstand things when working with different cultures and languages.
- Local Relationships: Your manager in another country might have local business deals or relationships you don’t know about, which could be a conflict of interest.
These problems make it hard to know what’s really going on. That’s why a professional, in-person check is so important.
Our Solution: Discreet Employee Checks
A discreet employee check helps you verify your staff’s work and behavior. This isn’t about spying. It’s about being a responsible business owner and managing your risks.

Our team acts as your trusted eyes and ears on the ground. We can legally and quietly gather facts to answer your questions. Are you worried about one employee? Do you suspect a problem at a whole branch? We can get you the facts. This service is a special type of corporate investigation made for the challenges of managing a global team.
What Our Employee Checks Can Find
We create a custom plan for every client. We can focus on one person or a whole office.
Our checks can find out:
- An Employee’s Real Daily Activities: We can discreetly watch an employee to see if they are actually working. We check where they go, who they meet, and if they are doing their job.
- Their Professional Reputation: We can quietly ask around in their local industry to find out their reputation.
- Conflicts of Interest: We can check if an employee is secretly working for someone else or running a side business on your time.
