Team Fastrax To Honor Armed Forces With A Spectacular American Flag Skydive

Team Fastrax To Honor Armed Forces With A Spectacular American Flag Skydive

On Friday, June 14, 2013, Team Fastrax will perform an American Flag Skydive near Independence Hall in Philadelphia.  It is part of a special event for Flag Day and also commemorates the birth of the United States Army.

The Flag Skydive is being sponsored by Selection.com, a leading provider of criminal background checks and pre-employment screening services, as well as Start Skydiving. The event starts at 9 a.m., with a variety of historical and modern army units processing through Independence Mall. A flag raising ceremony in front of Independence Hall follows at 10 a.m. Commander in Chief George Washington will read the historic proclamation creating the U.S. Army and then visitors can enjoy birthday cake and view U.S. Army tactical vehicles at locations throughout the Mall.

Team Fastrax will be jumping into the mall around 12pm. There will be 6 skydivers in all, flying three 1,100 sq. ft. flags, one 500 sq. ft. flag, one 2,000 sq. ft. flag and a 3,500 sq. ft. flag.    The Team Fastrax skydivers take this honor very seriously, and gather the flags afterward with the utmost care. John Hart, Owner of Start Skydiving and member of Team Fastrax, stated, “Flying our Nations colors over Philadelphia and landing in front of Independence Hall is special to Team Fastrax for two reasons, the first being that our Nations Independence started right here. The second is that it has never been done before. To top it off, it is Flag Day and the birthday of the United States Army. So when you see these six enormous flags flying above Philadelphia at noon, take a moment to reflect upon the ‘freedom’ that you have and the human lives freely given for you to have it.”

Criminal Background Checks help reduce employee theft

Criminal Background Checks help reduce employee theft

The Importance of Background Checks

Criminal Background Checks and Pre-Employment Drug Screenings are two essential components of any hiring process.  This blog entry shows why these background checks are so important and how Selection.com adds value to our clients every day.

Research on Employee Theft

As reported in a recent study by Hayes International, employee theft is a major problem in business today.  In 2010, 69,373 employees were arrested for workplace theft. In those cases, over $44 MILLION was recovered.  One in 33 employees was apprehended for theft from their employer in 2010.  Dishonest employees steal 5.9 times MORE often than shoplifters!!!

Consider that these figures do not include:

  • Stolen time by employees (time paid for no work)
  • Stolen time of employers (time spent monitoring and responding to employee theft)
  • Stolen reputation of the company name or brand name
  • Stolen morale of other honest employees

If the AVERAGE shows that 1 in 33 employees is guilty of theft, how can YOU beat those odds?

The answer is criminal background checks and pre-employment drug screening.

Criminal Background Checks Reduce the Cost of Turnover

The Employment Policy Foundation estimates the hidden costs of turnover.

[slideshare id=18067718&doc=backgroundchecksreducecostofturnover-130402151508-phpapp02]

Every employer experiences turnover. But some turnovers can be prevented by weeding out risky hires. For example, when an employer has to terminate an employee for theft, criminal behavior or other activities that harm the corporation, those hires can be reduced by doing criminal background checks. But let’s look at what the hidden cost of turnover is.

These numbers were reported in Graphic Arts Monthly (Feb. 2, 2005).

When factoring in:

  • Separation costs
  • Interview time
  • Paperwork
  • Relocation
  • Unemployment
  • Training
  • Vacancy Costs
  • Lost productivity
  • Advertising
But NOT including:

  • Theft
  • Replacement costs
  • Litigation
  • Decreased moral
  • Tarnished reputation

the AVERAGE cost of separations is estimated at…$15,000 per employee!!

When you factor that cost for multiple employees, it increases dramatically.

  • For 7 employees, the annualized cost is of turnover, or separation is $100,000.
  • For 15 employees, the annualized cost is over $200,000.
  • For 100 employees or more, the annual costs reach $1.5 MILLION!!

At Selection.com, we’ve been reducing risky hires for 20 years.

We do millions of criminal background searches and pre-employment drug screenings per year.

We’re ready to help YOU!
