Overcomplicated and Ineffective – Retail Theft Prevention

Loss prevention is often thought of as a very difficult and complex set of processes or policies that detract from an employee’s time to get their “real” work done. I see too many employees or managers who are over thinking their retail theft prevention strategies and the end result is that their plans often are not followed through or successful.

By simplifying an action plan, you can give that plan a better shot of being successfully implemented and used. I wonder how many of them would have been more successful had we simplified them down to three simple steps.

Think about a store trying to add Checkpoint systems into a store. If you can add these anti-shoplifting tags onto merchandise using three steps, don’t you think it would be more impactful to the employees to remember three steps instead of a complex twenty-step process?

• Step one decides which merchandise needs help to stop shoplifting.
• Step two puts the retail theft prevention products on that merchandise.
• Step three moves the now-tagged merchandise back onto the sales floor to be sold.

By reducing the number of steps, you have a better chance of them working and ultimately to stop shoplifting from happening inside your store.
