The FBI calls employee theft “the fastest-growing crime in America”. And the US Chamber of Commerce estimates that 75 percent of employees steal from the workplace, and that most do it repeatedly. Employees most often steal money, produced goods, professional supplies, and sensitive information. These cubical, or corner office crimes are responsible for one third of all US corporate bankruptcies.
We asked Mark Allen, CEO of CPS Electric how companies can protect themselves. The short answer – “technology.”
“Quite simply, installing surveillance systems and access control systems offer employers not only a way to monitor activity, but send a strong warning signal to others that security is taken seriously,” shared Allen. According to Allen, the process of protection technology includes consultation to help organizations determine a surveillance and controls system that best suits their needs. Today’s surveillance solutions are expandable and customizable, they aim to consider future business growth and development.
