When I was growing up, my parents were notorious for telling me not to do things. They never really explained why not, they just told me not to. I can attest to the fact that this was not the most effective way to teach me a lesson. Now, as an adult, when I conduct loss prevention seminars, I go beyond just saying, “don’t do it” and actually share information to make a difference.
When employee theft is happening in a store, or is about to happen, you have to be more prepared than having a sign that says, “shoplifting will be prosecuted”. You have to train your employees that you are aware of different methods, and tactics used in employee theft. You have to be able to train the other employees to be eyes and ears when you are not there.
By sharing information on employee theft during loss prevention seminars you have the information to help your employees make better decisions. Employees who see the heightened awareness level in a store are less likely to try and get away with employee theft.
The stores that have a blanket statement, but no training or awareness, are more likely to have theft issues. Without a clear understanding of how deep the awareness and prevention goes in a store, the more likely employees are to abuse the system.
