Theft at work

There are no reliable figures to indicate the scale of theft at work. Although many employers know a problem exists, they are either unwilling or unable to measure the real problem. Of course, theft costs money, both in terms of the direct losses and in the effects it has on the staff, both honest and dishonest. It is possible with careful planning to minimize losses due to theft ‐ like most other things, it is a situation that has to be managed as a part of the overall employment situation.
