Prevent Office Theft and Tips for a Safer Workplace

Theft in the workplace is more common than you might realize. Cash, computers and even identities could be snatched from right under your nose – in your building – and the results can be devastating.

Building owners and facility managers need to equip themselves to fight office crime and protect their businesses with an integrated, careful approach.

WHO WOULD STEAL ITEMS FROM THE OFFICE?
The answer: anyone could. From serial thieves and desperate employees to cleaning staff or building visitors, the profile of an office thief varies.

HOW DO YOU PREVENT OFFICE THEFTS?
The first step to preventing office theft is to hire the right people – people who won’t steal from you. In today’s world, technology is at our finger tips so make sure you are doing background checks on potential employees.

When you know you have the right people on your team, the next step is figuring out how secure your building is, and where potential weaknesses may be. Conduct a security audit and develop a comprehensive security plan. The audit should examine the facility’s vulnerabilities, looking for ways to maximize safety and security, and minimize risks.
