Fee Paid Inquiries Confidential

IIOST employers trust their emlUl ployees and most employees are trustworthy, yet the Department of Commerce estimates U.S. businesses lose over $53 billion a year to employee theft.

In addition, over 750/o of internal theft goes undetected. "Employers are too trusting when it comes to employee theft," says John D. Case, a San Diego, Ca., security consultant. "Most managers have a tendency not to believe their employees steal. They often overlook some telltale signs of thievery, attributing them to carelessness, incompetence or even loyalty."

The most effective and positive means to prevent theft, according to Case, who does numerous security seminars for lumber and building material dealers, is not to distrust your employees, but to remove the opportunities for theft.

Internal theft can have disastrous results on the profits of a company.
