Getting robbed by shoplifters sucks.
But do you know what’s worse?
Having your own employees steal from you.
I’ve worked with enough retailers to know employee theft always starts out the same way:
With the little things.
Think $5 sandwiches from the cafeteria. Or pens they think nobody will miss.
Most retailers turn a blind eye to thefts of this scale.
They brush it aside as unimportant and chalk it up as ‘the cost of doing business.’
But that’s the thing about theft:
It’s a progression.
Over time, your dishonest employees will become more confident and move to bigger items.
Think inventory. Equipment. Maybe even cash.
Don’t wait until it’s too late to nip internal theft in the bud.
Fix the $5 problem before it becomes a $100,000 problem.
