What is fidelity and crime coverage?
Fidelity and crime insurance coverages provides financial compensation for loss of goods or cash through theft, fraud, forgery or other crimes committed by your own employees.
Why does your business need protection for employee crime?
Although most businesses run background checks and make every effort to hire honest employees, studies show that fraud and employee theft is becoming more common, and it is even more common in smaller organizations with fewer controls. The statistics on employee commercial crime are shocking:
- Fraud typically occurs for 3 years before detection
- Before committing a crime, 60% of fraudsters are employed five years or more
- The average commercial crime loss is $140,000, with many crimes totaling more than $1 million
