USING TRAINING TO REDUCE EMPLOYEE THEFT
You can have the absolute best security camera system. You can have all the latest EAS gadgets and devices. You can have the latest in physical security measures and use the best tags the industry has to offer. All of that is great, but if don’t consider training to reduce employee theft, you can still be open to loses.
Employee theft costs you tens of thousands of dollars in shrink each and every year. The longer your employees go without being caught, the bolder they become. What starts off as a stolen candy bar one day, eventually snowballs into larger and larger thefts as the employee gets more and more brazen in their actions. Knowing the indicators of employee theft can greatly assist you in reducing shortages and help to weed out those employees that are robbing you blind.
Why should you seek out training to reduce employee theft?
One, you’re a manager/owner. You probably don’t have a storied LP background. Loss Prevention professionals have a knack for seeing what most others don’t/can’t see. It’s our own personal “Spidey Sense”. I can walk into a store and within minutes, put a list together of potential dishonest employees, just based on short interactions with them. Additionally, years of experience have helped guide us in knowing all the more common ways (and not so common) that employee theft occurs.
What is the benefit in using training to reduce employee theft?
For most small business, the LP program involves pleading with your employees not to steal. Well, honestly, this isn’t very effective. You can’t simply talk a dishonest employee out of stealing from you. It’s like trying to talk a baby out of crying. A solid training program, like the one offered by Loss Prevention Systems Inc. can help you to understand the root causes of employee theft, how to handle these cases when they do arise and ways for you to prevent employees from ever stealing from you in the first place.
Throughout my LP career, training managers has been a key pillar of our loss prevention program. Your managers interact with your staff on an hourly basis. Your managers are the first line of defense when it comes to identifying suspicious behavior. Your managers should be the first to recognize changes in an employee’s behavior. Your managers should be able to quickly identify patters that could spell out employee theft. You should provide your managers with the tools and training to reduce employee theft!
