- Screen all employees before hiring them – it’s the best defense against internal theft.
- Never have fewer than two people close up at night.
- Have all keys distributed to employees engraved with the words “Do Not Duplicate.”
- Watch for warning signs – employees who:
- Are living beyond their means
- Habitually violate company policies
- Have a substance abuse problem
- Are chronic liars
- Seem immature or troubled
- May have cause to feel wronged
- Never rule anyone out – anyone could be a thief.
- Use a card access system rather than traditional keys – access cards can’t easily be duplicated.
- Install a closed-circuit television system. It allows you to monitor employees and serves as a very strong deterrent.
