Management Misconceptions
More often than not, it is very difficult for a manger to accept the possibility that employees he/she hired, trusts and works beside are capable of engaging in such disloyal and dishonest activity. Consequently, it is easy to understand how management embraces misconceptions about the problem. Some of these misconceptions about employee theft include:
• Most theft is caused by non-employees.
• Well-paid and/or senior employees are trustworthy/loyal and don’t steal.
• Honest employees can be counted on to report employee theft.
• Employee theft is conspicuous and can be detected in its early stages.
• You don’t need to formally inform employees that theft will not be tolerated.
