Picking the best Background Check Company can be difficult.

June 25, 2012 by

It is not hard to find a Background Check Company, but it can be difficult to find the right one.  Employee background checks and pre employment screening are vital to any business.  When looking for a good Background Check Company I recommend finding one that utilizes Employee background check experts.

Some companies simply push information to the local police and say they did thorough criminal background checks.  In reality a real Background Check Company will do much more than that.  They will utilize background check experts to query information from a variety of police departments and state agencies.  They can also look at financial information and other factors that may be important to paint a good picture of your potential candidate.

A reputable Background Check Company will also offer a good pre employment screening service.  The pre employment screening can cover drug testing, personality tests as well as other aptitude information.  All of these things are important when choosing to bring a stranger into your business and entrusting them with your customers, your merchandise and your money.

Today, background checks are increasingly affordable.  Modern technology makes background checks much easier which in turn makes them a more affordable service to offer.  It also makes conducing employee background checks more sensible.  If you needed to put together a bookcase would you use an old-fashioned screwdriver or a new powered screwdriver?  Most people would use the newer option since it is available and makes the job easier.  To that end, you can simply rely on the old-fashioned interview and hope you pick the right candidate (which is not an exact science) or you can also add criminal background checks and pre employment screening to improve success in this process.  The decision seems easy.

Making Your Business More Profitable with Clothing Security

June 25, 2012 by

Many businesses find themselves at a point when the investment in clothing security measures becomes a harsh reality to them.  They might have thought they could go without for a while but eventually the shrink numbers are just too high to avoid it any longer. This investment most often comes in the form of various security tags on clothes or clothing alarms.  The use of clothing security tags is the primary security deterrent used by businesses worldwide.  Clothing security tags also known as electronic article surveillance (EAS) tags provide the user with a physical theft deterrent, which can be used as a part of an overall loss prevention strategy.

These security tags on clothes can act as an active or passive security system. Many clothing security tags are used as an element to work in conjunction with an overall electronic article system.  The electronic article systems also works with various clothing alarms, which can give an immediate notification of removal from the system.  This notification is most often an audible clothing alarm that is triggered.  As a passive system, clothing security tags present themselves as a visual deterrent to shoplifters.  The application of clothing security tags will deter many if not the majority of shoplifters from your place of business.

While working for a major international retailer, I was involved in the planning and implementation of a clothing security strategy.  This strategy was a response to an increase in shoplifting across our brand.  After instituting the clothing security systems, which included clothing alarms and security tags on clothes the company noticed a drastic reduction in clothing theft and better profit margins at the store level.  The use of clothing security had a large and positive impact on profit margins and moral for the company’s stores.

The use of clothing security can benefit both small and large retail businesses.  It allows the business owner to control their loss and lower the bottom line.  This can improve the business profit margins and create a safer environment for employees.

Better than Garlic

June 25, 2012 by Leave a Comment

This time of year, it would maybe seem a little unusual to start talking about vampires and other ghouls walking amongst the living. When it comes to retail security and protecting retailers form theft, there is actually a strange connection between the two.

 Think about the common vampire character. They walk around looking and acting like they are no different than you or I. The closer you get, the more you discover that they are willing to swindle, defraud, con, or just plain take whatever they want without care or regard to anyone else.

 I personally see no difference between that and your everyday, commonplace shoplifter.

 Instead of using garlic and wooden stakes to fend off vampires, shoplifters require their own tools. Anti theft devices like cheap tags and cheap labels work efficiently to send shoplifters back to the seedy undergrounds that they came from.

 Just like any other Hollywood horror story, let the good guys win in the end. Use the right tools in the right way to outsmart to evildoers in the world. A little dramatic, maybe, but the underlying principle stands true.

 Visit RBC Security Solutions for Anti-Shoplifting or Anti- theft Devices that can help you with your Retail Security needs like Cheap Labels and Cheap Tags. Our Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS Labels and Tags are not cheap they are inexpensive and made in the U.S.

Employee Theft: The Silent Killer

June 25, 2012 by Leave a Comment

The biggest killer of small businesses is employee theft. Most small business owners have little or no experience in the field of Loss Prevention thus never seeing first hand the ravages employee theft can wreak upon a business if left unchecked. There are many tools that can both deter and catch a thieving employee. A business owner’s main goal should be to deter internal theft. There are several ways to deter employees from stealing but nothing is guaranteed to work 100%.

If an employee has their mind set to steal then losses will occur, it then becomes a cat and mouse game to catch this employee. Once again most small business owners have never conducted a quality employee theft investigation. One of the best ways to either deter or catch a employee stealing is purchasing a quality CCTV system. Once again, you can but the best camera system in town but you have to set it up so as to be able maximize the deterrence value and to be able to catch the employee stealing either product or cash.

I have performed many LP consultations for small business owners who had unfortunately never gave a thought to internal theft believing that they had the best employees on the planet since they were mostly either family or friends. Many times the consultation started off with me conducting an employee theft investigation and catching their employees “red handed” stealing from their businesses. At that point we had to discuss what mistakes they had made in setting up their business and how we could change it to deter further internal theft. Numerous times it started with the purchase and set up of a good CCTV system. I always ensured the registers were adequately covered to catch any “till taps” or product pass off’s known as “sweet hearting”. The next area I would ensure was covered was the stockroom where shipping and receiving occurred, a lot of product can disappear out the back door or be concealed in the stockroom. I would also suggest the owners implement a bag/pocket check to be conducted and logged every time an employee left the premises for any reason.

These few changes in a small business owner’s mindset and strategy saved their businesses. Purchasing and implementing the right tools allowed them to deter theft and conduct quality employee theft investigations. Deterrence is the key however when losses occur having the capability to switch to investigation mode will benefit any business owner.

It’s Elastic!

June 22, 2012 by

In economics, there is a definition of elasticity that talks about how a reduction in the price of an item (say clothes) is reduced, and the seller’s revenue increases.

 Basically, it explains how a retailer can make more money by putting an item on sale. The key is in the increased sales by quantity.

 The more you sell, the more you make.

 What if you don’t have the clothes to sell because they keep walking out the door? Are you still elastic? The answer is probably not, because you won’t have the quantity of clothes in place to make the sales worthwhile.

 Anti theft devices are a great way to utilize clothing security methods to help you stay elastic. There is nothing worse as a customer to go to a store looking for a specific sales item and finding out that they are all sold out.

 It’s even more disappointing, as an owner or manager to realize you have lost out on those precious sales because you no longer have the items in, due to theft.

Cutting Payroll? What’s Your Back Up Plan??

June 18, 2012 by Leave a Comment

The economy is struggling that is a fact. Payrolls have been cut and employees are being asked to do more with less. Thieves however are very opportunistic and are thriving in this current economic environment. Most companies are not thinking about anti shoplifting strategies nor are they contemplating adding retail theft prevention tools. Businesses with checkpoint systems already in place are in the best position to fend off this latest push by thieves to cause loss of assets.

Newer smaller to mid size businesses are not allocating funds to protect their bottom line, they are focusing on maximizing sales and slashing the budget at every turn. A Checkpoint security system gives a business an extra obstacle for thieves no matter how many employees are working the floor. The key is the fact that the business can utilize checkpoint security tags and labels on every piece of merchandise if they so desire to protect their product. The checkpoint security tags are alarmed so if a shoplifter attempts to remove a product that has a tag on it the EAS alarm at the front of the store will sound loudly alerting the staff to a potential theft. Checkpoint systems are proven to deter theft and are ranked as one of the best retail theft prevention tools in the industry.

Payroll is the most controllable expense and many businesses are moving to save money by reducing payroll. Part of the budget discussion should be to discuss the best anti shoplifting solutions. If a company decides to limit floor coverage they should invest part of that money into a checkpoint security system to aid in retail theft prevention. Checkpoint systems are not 100% full proof, nothing on the market is, however this tool can be a huge help to ensure theft does not contribute to any financial hurdles businesses are encountering.

Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase retail anti theft devices and your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system from Checkpoint Systems.

CEO or CE- Who?

June 18, 2012 by

There is a pretty big case in the media right now about a CEO of a major Internet company who has been caught lying about his qualifications on his resume. Had it not been for the background checks run by an investment firm, who knows how long this charade would have continued? It makes me wonder if anyone even would have known.

Clearly, a thorough background check was not done when this man was hired on. If it was, a simple verification of their school records would have shown that the degree they stated having, was not actually real.

It is just another reason why employee background checks are so important.

This company has been struggling in recent years, and having a CEO who was not as qualified as they originally thought may be playing its part in the company’s success. It would be impossible to say if someone else would have put the company in better standings, but to lie on a resume at the CEO level puts into question this persons scruples and trustworthiness.

It also puts into question the credentials of every other employee in this company. If the CEO can get away with a falsehood, how many other employees have either lied about their qualifications or previous work history.

Whether or not your company is struggling, every person employed must be held accountable to the standards of qualifications they have stated that they have.
