Playing the stock market is riddled with risks- some are high with the promise of a great return, or great failure. Others are low risk with a steady expectation of gain, or they may turn out to be a dud and never fully rise to their potential. Just like with stocks, you should not completely judge a potential employee’s past behavior as a guarantee of future results. Pre employment screening is designed to give employers additional indicators of who might be a high or low risk, and how to act accordingly.
Some applicants with a clean history will end up stealing from you because they are suddenly faced with an unexpected financial debt. Others with a criminal past may have truly been rehabilitated, and are on the straight and narrow path now, never to falter again.
An employee background check creates a larger base line to make those decisions. By tracking a stock over a longer period of time, we can see just how consistent it has been allowing us to decide whether to invest or not. You wouldn’t pick a stock based off of the last year’s performance when you can see how it performed over the last five years. Why would you pick an employee based only off of the last year, when you can see further into their past?
Employee background checks help us to see the longer, and more complete history of a person, and not just what their recent results have been.

Going off to colleges is one of many rights of passage for young adults as they transition into adult hood. It is the first real opportunity for many youth towards maintaining a sense of who they are as a person. They develop their own identities- some more honorable than others. As college bookstores can attest, some of these identities are riddle with a different right of passage- stealing books.
Many of these readers feel that stealing books, in particular for readers of certain authors or works, is a right of passage, or carries a certain clout within their social circle. For them, it is not just about having said that they read a book, it is about having said that they stole the book.
For others, it is an act of defiance as they think literature and information should be free to all, instead of sold for the sticker price.
That being said, these are the students that are causing the need for college bookstores to invest in bookstore security.
College bookstores need to implement bookstore security that is simple and at the same time predominately visible. The most common is a form of bookstore security is the combination of an anti theft device, such as an EAS label, and the towers at the doors.

One of the latest hot button topics for many retail businesses is conversion rate. Conversion rates are found using data from a retail traffic counter system like VisiPlus.
A conversion rate is the ratio between customer traffic (the number of people entering your store) and the number of transaction made during that same time frame.
The conversion rate is the next drill down of your store’s sales. It shows more than just whether or not you made the days sales. It lets you know how the customer traffic is actually purchasing, or not. This is one of the most beneficial reasons to using retail traffic counter systems like VisiPlus.
By looking at a conversion rate, you will be able to see several different patterns to your daily business. You can see from your retail traffic counter system if you have a high traffic count, but not many of them are buying, or they are making smaller dollar purchases. When this is the case, you want to focus your sales efforts on how to grow the individual sales.
Can you remerchandise to have small add on items near the register to increase your sales? Do you have a problem with your employees? When your staff is not engaging the customer, you risk losing sales because no one is there to help them.
Have you started locking up merchandise to prevent theft? Maybe investing in a Checkpoint system can help boost your sales while preventing shoplifting. Checkpoint systems allow for open merchandising, a proven sales booster, compared to putting high theft popular products behind a lock and key.
If you have a low traffic count and big sales, you have an opportunity to grow your business by marketing to bring more customers in. Focus on sales initiatives to drive customers into your store. An increase in traffic from your VisiPlus reports will easily show you if your marketing is working. Take a look at how safe your store is, you could be driving traffic away for things like parking lot lights not working, or too much evidence of theft. Again, a Checkpoint System will help remedy this situation.

During one particular Loss Prevention Workshop, I had a lady who was very upfront that the only reason she was working here was to get the employee discount. Needless to say, I quickly assumed that she would barely pay attention, much less remember anything that I was teaching her. Still, I didn’t dismiss her from the loss prevention training, I just made sure that I gave the best information I could hoping some of it would be retained.
Months later, she came unexpectedly barging into my office. They very first thing she said was “I remembered what you said during the loss prevention workshop regarding red flags…”
Sure enough, she did remember, much more than I think either of us would have expected her to. She was right in picking up on the warning signs. As a result, she stopped a loss of almost $1200 dollars. To this day, I am not sure about who had a greater sense of pride- her or me.
She was so proud of herself for doing something she never dreamed herself capable of. I was proud that I had given her the tools, in such a way that she remembered after all of those months, to be successful. Because I didn’t give up on her during the loss prevention training, she was able to be successful in a completely unexpected way.

For businesses, having an in house surveillance system is a resource that greatly deters internal theft. Employees are more aware of a surveillance system tracking their every move when they are considering stealing cash or merchandise from their employer. Having a surveillance system will help you watch and learn what your employees are doing- even after you have left the building.
CCTV- closed circuit television- is a common form of surveillance system. It is a system of at least one or more cameras linked via a centralized monitor and recording device.
These systems can be as simple as a single camera overlooking the cash register with a TV and VCR. They can be as sophisticated as multiple cameras that move and tilt under a user’s control- liked via digital screens and recording devices. Whatever the actual set up is, having a surveillance system in place reduces the likelihood of internal theft.
For those that do attempt to steal from your business, there is a greater chance that the thefts had been recorded, and can be used to determine which employee stole what merchandise. This provides a resolution and recourse if you decide to terminate or prosecute that employee.
Many employee theft investigations have been resolved simply by a review of surveillance footage. More over, when you are seeking to prosecute these employees for employee theft, having more concrete evidence such as recorded surveillance can help you win the case.

Checkpoint tags are reputed to be able to stop clothing inventory losses by as much as 80%. For many potential customers, 80% seems like it would be an anomaly, one of those reports just to help validate a product or service. Can everyone really see an 80% reduction in theft?
In order to determine if Checkpoint Tags would help your inventory loss problems, you will first need to identify where your losses are coming from. In other words, what is the root cause of your inventory shrinkage?
Clothing security tags won’t help you with merchandise that never made it into your store from the vendor, or other distribution centers. There is no way to prevent a loss before the merchandise even enters your four walls. Merchandise receipt shortages should be addressed directly with your vendors and shippers.
Security tags on clothes will also not help you if your inventory losses are coming from damaged products. Additionally, if your cashiers are not selling the correct item number or SKU, you do not have a theft issue, you have an operational issue.
Checkpoint tags are only an effective deterrent against shoplifters, and to a lesser degree, employee theft. The tags increase the risk of a shoplifter being caught, making it far less attractive for them to steal, ultimately providing the deterrent and the reduction in your inventory losses.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase Checkpoint Tags, a Clothing Alarm, Clothing Security or Clothing Security Tags to put Security Tags on Clothes and an Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system.
