Company Theft Protection
No matter what size your business is, you are at risk for losses that are caused by criminal activity, including theft. Business theft can come from both internal and external sources, and knowing how to protect your company can help to make sure that you stay safe. Keep these tips in mind to keep your business protected from any theft.
- Create opportunities to uncover employee theft – put practices in place, such as frequent audits and strict accounting controls and inform all of your employees that the practices are in place. You should also create a policy that will allow employees to report any crimes that they see happening at work without fear of reprisal.
- Reward good behavior – acknowledging hard work and rewarding loyalty can help to create an environment that is free from any employee theft issues.
- Install strong doors – all doors that lead to the outside should have steel frames and strong deadbolts. If a burglar has to try too hard to get into your business, they are more likely to find another target.
- Install bright lights – burglars are much less likely to target a business if they cannot hide in the shadows. Install sensor lights around the exterior of your building and emergency lights in the inside to keep your business safe.
- Invest in an alarm – there are various types of alarms that you can install at your business depending on how much protection you are looking for. Consider alarm systems that include motion detectors and door and window sensors to best protect your business.
Investing in the right business insurance policies is one of the easiest ways to keep your company protected from any unfortunate situation that you may run into.Â
