At a recent Loss Prevention Workshop, several Loss Prevention professionals talked about their recent promotions and how they got to those positions. While I would have thought that they would have credited their success to things like employee theft resolution or uncovering a significant shoplifting ring, they had other reasons for their success.
One of the best pieces of advice they gave, is something I have stressed in my own personal career for many years. At this loss prevention training class, they spoke about the importance of learning other areas of the company or business outside of just loss prevention. It was a critical factor in their success stories.
It is so important, because it shows your respect for those other areas. It is nearly impossible to try and guide or confer with another department if you don’t have any knowledge of their responsibilities and processes.
It is also important to broaden your horizons. The more you know about the full circle of your business, the stronger you are as a manager or a key player, just as these professionals did.
The same thing goes for those out there that are going to loss prevention seminars to broaden their own horizons. The more you know about different areas of a business, the better off you will be.
