Relationship Issues
Current statistics confirm approximately 1 in 2 relationships end in divorce. While there are no statistics as to why this happens, it is fair and reasonable to assume that infidelity will play a large role in these break ups. This could be happening to you.
Lie Detector New Zealand specialise in polygraph tests for all types of relationships where honesty and integrity have become an issue. Often there is no real physical evidence and no witnesses to confirm your suspicions. You might only have that gut feeling.
In these circumstances a polygraph test will obtain the answers that are unobtainable from regular methods of inquiry. Answers can be confirmed to those questions which only the deceptive person has knowledge of.
How often do you hear of someone having a gut feeling that all is not well in their relationship, only to dismiss it but have those same suspicions validated, often months/years later. If you have any relationship doubts at all, talk it through and arrange a Lie Detector Test for your peace of mind.
Conversely, being falsely accused in any circumstance can damage many a good relationship whether it be domestic or in business. A polygraph test not only identifies the deceptive but will also vindicate the truthful and innocent.
Pre relationship screening is now very much in demand especially by those considering any long term commitment to another. You may have met the new person in your life via the internet or through friends but do you really know who it is you are allowing into your life? Are they who they portray themselves to be?
You would not buy property or make a major financial investment without seeking advice or conducting due diligence - a prudent person would also do the same with regard to their relationship. After all it is your future, your entire life and family that you are going to share with this person.
Employment Screening and Maintenance
A 2016 study concluded that New Zealand has the world’s second highest rate of Work Place Bullying
(WPB) with 1 in 5 employees subjected to some form of WPB.
Just because an employer has not had any reported instances of WPB does not mean that it is not happening. As an employer it is imperative that you are pro-active to minimise your exposure to potential personal grievances, tarnished reputation and financial loss.
There are many uses for the Polygraph as an investigative aid but a new concept that Lie Detector New Zealand is offering and aimed at protecting the employer and employee is the introduction of random Polygraph interviews aka Lie Detector Tests for the purpose of “Employee Quality Control” (EQC).
EQC essentially involves employee’s being given a memo from their employer advising of random Polygraph interviews to commence in 3 months’ time. (This is basically a lead in and an amnesty period).
In 3 months’ post the memo, a number of employee’s eg 3-4 are requested to voluntarily take a Polygraph interview as part of EQC to address issues as whether or not they have deliberately engaged in or been subjected to WPB.
The results of these interviews will enable an employer to monitor subsequent employee behaviour, identify areas of concern, initiate appropriate educational or remedial action and thereby mitigate against potential personal grievances.
Ongoing random Polygraph interviews approximately 4 times a year will act as a deterrent to potential WPB and other detrimental behaviour.
The main function of the polygraph when introduced as a preventive measure, is to reduce the risk of disloyal behaviour and abuse of official positions, which can lead to significant material and financial losses for the employer. Testing current employees at regular intervals will assist in the deterrence of dishonesty, detrimental behaviour and ultimately improve the performance and moral of your organisation.
The practical usage of the polygraph in the recruitment of employees can range from verifying the accuracy of the information provided in CVs to detection of behaviours not suitable for getting a certain position.
Screening is essential to all businesses and should form part of any human resources risk assessment and/or recruiting policy. With over 25% of job applications containing a substantial untruth or embellishment regarding matters of qualifications, work history, internal theft or fraud, drug use and convictions, your company is exposing itself to unnecessary risk. By screening key applicants with the polygraph we can help you recruit the right personnel to ensure the security and integrity of your business.
Sexual Abuse
Whether you have been a victim and been disbelieved or have been falsely accused of a sexual offence, a polygraph examination will help you validate your own allegations and/or help refute those false allegations leveled against you.
Lie Detector New Zealand have confirmed the truth to numerous historical sexual allegations, some that date back decades.
Criminal and Civil
It is a "fallacy" that the Polygraph and its evidence is not admissible in New Zealand Criminal/Civil Courts.
Polygraph evidence is considered as "expert witness evidence". The sole decision as to its admissibility is determined by the presiding judge and is considered on whether or not the evidence is or could be substantially helpful.
Frauds within an organisation
account for millions of dollars annually. An unscrupulous employee can pass vital data to a business competitor, hide illegal processes or delete vital data which could cripple your business. If you suspect such a person, a polygraph test of that suspect will help you.
ACC and Injury disability claims
or work related injury claims are also responsible for millions of dollars in fraudulent claims each year. It is easy for the claimant to sign a written document declaring everything is truthful regarding their injury claim, when in fact it may not be. Medical experts are often duped by the deceptive claimant and there might be no witnesses to verify such an injury claim. A polygraph will provide the answers that only the deceptive claimant has knowledge of.
