Most recruiters and hiring managers will tell you with an overwhelming response that the single biggest reason why employees come to them for a new position, or a new job altogether, is because they feel underappreciated.
When employees are not appreciated they will look for somewhere else to go. If their efforts are not being rewarded through praise or a raise they begin to question why they should even bother putting in the effort.
This is where most employees look at one of two options. They will either eliminate the position they are in through a lateral transfer, promotion, or leave the company entirely, or they will develop their own compensation for their troubles and hard work.
When employees begin to feel like they have been robbed out of other compensations for their hard work, they may devise a plan to compensate themselves.
Some employees begin to steal time. They may start taking longer lunch breaks, leaving early or coming in late. They do not have the same loyalty and drive to be the best and their hours worked can start to reflect that change.
Others will begin to take with them company supplies, whether they need them or not. Extra pens, paper, can eventually escalate into company computers, tablets or other electronics.
Even more employees will steal cash or steal merchandise. They might take it directly, or hand the products off to friends or family.
