Research from Fellowes to coincide with National Identity Fraud Prevention Week showed 92% of employees thought their personal details could be stolen by a fraudster and 75% think their company could do more to prevent ID fraud.
More than half (53%) think papers could be stolen from filing systems, 63% believe information could be removed from computer systems and 56% think that identities are at risk - as one in 10 employees admitted putting sensitive documents in wastepaper bins still intact.
Nearly three quarters (72%) said they thought dishonest colleagues could leak information to ID fraudsters.
Meg Hillier MP, the Home Office minister with responsibility for ID fraud, said: "Identity fraud continues to be a serious problem which we know helps other criminal activity such as benefit fraud, illegal immigration, illegal working, drug trafficking and terrorism. Anyone who has been a victim knows only too well the need for better protection."
