Training To Reduce Employee Theft – 3
Driving For Better Profits And Lower Shrink; Loss Prevention Systems, Inc. Offers Training To Reduce Employee Theft And Stop Shoplifting
     A long time ago I taught my wife to drive. She had a few skills from when she was a little younger but had not pursued driving after that. Not long after we married we agreed there was a need for her to get her license so I spent time teaching her and she did earn her driver’s license. Turn the clock ahead 17 years and our son was ready to learn to drive. I spent time teaching him and giving him the basic skills. Wanting to be sure that he had all of the technical skills he would need to get through his driving test (and to lower insurance premiums) we sent him to a driver training school. Ahead another 3 years and I did the same training with our younger son and daughter. We sent them through driver training school also and our son went on to get his driver’s license. Our daughter chose to hold off. Now I am preparing her once again and guess what? I have found I have to review a few things, like parallel parking. More than 30 years of driving experience, 4 of those years as an Air Force Law Enforcement Specialist, and I have to refresh myself despite my driving experience (Thank You YouTube!). My reason for talking about this is that even with experience sometimes there are things you have to get refresher training on. For those things you don’t know how to do at all, getting the proper training pays off as you learn how to do something you never knew how to do in the first place. The same is true when it comes to retail loss prevention. You may be a store owner but that doesn’t necessarily translate to knowledge on how to stop shoplifting or prevent employee theft.
     Training to reduce employee theft and stop shoplifting doesn’t come just by being a store manager. Bad guys are creative with old and new methods to steal from stores. Whatever the manner of theft most people are not equipped with the knowledge required to catch the bad guys let alone recognize the signs and indicators that can identify who may steal or who is planning on stealing. Think of it like this, I have been in retail management and I have been a Loss Prevention Manager. Those experiences alone do not necessarily mean I could own my own store and run it successfully or even take the position of store manager. Even if I could do so I would still require a certain amount of training in order to be successful. The same applies to Loss Prevention. In order to be successful at shortage reduction a manager or owner should go through training to reduce employee theft and that training is available through Loss Prevention Systems, Inc. They offer seminars on employee theft, shoplifting and even pre-employment hiring. As someone with over 25 years of combined retail, Loss Prevention and retail management experience, I will tell you that taking these training seminars provides invaluable lessons that will pay off over and over again in the future.
     I mentioned earlier that proper training can pay off down the road (pun intended, you didn’t think I would pass up the opportunity did you?). With driver training the payoff is reduced insurance premiums and lowered chances of accidents meaning a lower risk of costly car repairs. What are the expected benefits of training to reduce employee theft or training to stop shoplifting? The obvious comes to mind first, you will learn to identify where theft is taking place and you can start to take the proper measure to stop it. You will also learn about the tools to deter and prevent theft like the Checkpoint electronic article surveillance towers and tags.  As theft goes down profits go up, THERE is your dividend, black ink on your bottom line. What about the not so obvious dividends, what are they? Did you ever consider that time card fraud is theft? Have you ever thought about an employee clocking another employee in and the person being clocked in isn’t at work? How about price change manipulation? Return fraud? Never considered what happened to those receipts customers didn’t want when they left the store did you? All of these things can add up to big losses, but LPSi can show you the way to put an end to the leaches who are trying to bleed you dry. Want countless dividends when you learn to stop shoplifting and employee theft? Sign up for the seminars today, what in the world are you waiting for?
