Business Video Surveillance Systems
The most important part of running a business is making sure that you prevent losses and make sure your employees are productive. While Alarm Systems help keep burglars from the outside from intruding, surveillance systems help make sure that your business is properly run from the inside as well. The number one thing that video surveillance helps is to deter and prevent employee theft. Billions of dollars are lost and stolen annually from businesses, because of employee theft. Employee dishonesty and theft costs U.S. business over $50 billion dollars annually. National estimates show that 75% of all employees steal from their employers at least once throughout their careers. The same statistics show that at least half of these 75% steal multiple times from their employer. It is plain to see that the businesses of the United States cannot continue to function if they let employees steal from them.
Definition: Employee theft – any stealing, use or misuse of their employer’s assets without permission to do so.To further add to this definition it is also important to point out what employees normally steal from their employers:
Money
Money is one of the most common assets that are stolen from employers.
Theft of time
Theft of time occurs when an employee is paid for time which they did not work. Usually this happens through the falsifying of time records. Technically theft of time can also include employees who are not working while on the job.
Theft of supplies
Theft of supplies is another prevalent form of employee theft. Common examples of this form of theft are office supplies (paper, computers, cabinets, etc.) and restaurant supplies (food, condiments, silverware, etc.).
Theft of merchandise and company property
Employees steal the actual merchandise that is sold at the place of business. Video Surveillance helps to deter employees from stealing, and in the event that theft occurs it becomes easy to identify the offending employee and take appropriate action.
