As a loss prevention manager, I never got to close to my store employees. There was always a professional separation. I never went out for drinks after work, or celebrated an employee’s birthday or holiday party. It was this separation that made me good at my job, especially when it came to employee theft investigations.
It is never easy to have to terminate an employee. It is even harder to have to terminate an employee and send them off to jail. You know their lives, and future job prospects; will never be the same again.
The separation I had between me and my employees helped two fold. It helped me (without bias) identify employees that were stealing from the company. It also helped not having an emotional attachment or friendship to these employees who were to be terminated and prosecuted.
While there were specific guidelines to this effect in my loss prevention training, it also came about as just useful practice.
As a small business owner, you might not be able to have this same luxury of objectivity. That is why taking in a loss prevention workshop on employee theft will help you overcome these emotional ties.
Loss prevention seminars are designed to help you not only gain objectivity, but also useful information on how to identify employee theft, and then how to legally deal with it.
