Security:
 Most private-and public-sector employers
spend thousands of dollars implementing security measures. Do
these costly investments prevent employees from attempting to
misuse positions of trust for personal gain? No! Employers still
suffer losses resulting from employee theft.
You might think the knowledge that security
measures are in place would discourage employees from abusing
their employer’s trust. In reality, however, the likelihood of
being caught and held accountable does not always deter
employees from committing dishonest acts. Some employees not
only keep doing it, they continue to get away with it!
While appropriate security measures can offer
much protection, employees with (inside)
access can usually find ways around the very systems you
installed to prevent theft. In other situations, normal security
measures simply fail to cover loopholes, allowing your employees
quick and easy access to your company assets. |
