Employee theft, generally defined as “any stealing, use or misuse of an employer’s assets without permission to do so,” can take many forms. Intentional misappropriation of employer property, including theft, fraud, embezzlement or forgery. This can be as simple as theft of company supplies or manipulation of timesheets. Whatever the act, they all have one thing in common: a violation of trust. For businesses, violations of trust are potentially more harmful because they are committed by the very individuals who are relied upon to make the business successful: its employees. Employee theft can make a profitable business— unprofitable and even nonexistent.
The most effect way to limit loss and theft is to prevent it from occurring in the first place.
There are a number of methods we can employ in loss prevention investigations including:
covert surveillance,
undercover investigators
employee interviews.
Our loss prevention specialists conduct Extensive Security, Loss Prevention and Safety Investigation of your business.
A typical investigation will consist of:
Our staff will listen to the problems that you are experiencing
An inspection of each business interior and exterior to access security.
Examination of the physical security of the business that will determine the manner in which the theft is occurring
Interview key personnel to determine their involvement in the theft
A review of current policies and procedures.
Review of past internal and external criminal activities.
Review of past and current concerning possible theft.
After the completion of the investigation, our staff will propose a course of action that will best fit your business to reduce and ultimately rid your business of theft and loss.
