Engage Employees To Reduce Loss

By Erin Harris, Integrated Solutions For Retailers magazine

That means educating your employees on the various methods of theft, how theft occurs, the checks and balances conducted to detect losses, and most importantly, the consequences of stealing from your company. A consistent approach to awareness and the application of training on the concepts and practices of proactive loss prevention (LP) build a strong foundation for improved performance.
