Private Investigation Services - Dishonest Employees Investigators
Stealing from an employer is a serious breach of
trust, and not acceptable under any circumstances.
Whether it's taking a few notepads and pens from the stationery cupboard,
money going missing from a till, stock from the warehouse, to an outright
attempt to defraud your employer, any of these actions constitutes theft
and is unacceptable behaviour regardless of the individual's motives.
Why Do Employees Steal from the Workplace?
When employees are caught stealing from the workplace, or when having
confessed to stealing, research has shown that many employees cite the
fact that the company made it so easy to steal and, therefore, the temptation
was too good to resist, even though their overall ethical beliefs would
know that stealing from their employer was wrong.
The surprising fact would seem to be that many employees who have been
caught stealing at work were not under any financial pressures to do
so. Many state that having seen other members of staff, some of them
senior helping themselves, believed it was perfectly acceptable for
them to do the same.
In other instances, perceived injustices against them, feeling undervalued
or the way they've been treated by their bosses have also been cited
as other reasons why they have stolen from employers.
Employee's stealing from the workplace can take various forms including:
- Stock theft
- Cash from tills and secure locations
- Providing services and goods free of charge to friends and family
- Stationary theft
- Company information and data theft
- Taking of customer details for use in their own enterprise
- Using company vehicles for own use when not permitted to
- Taking of company equipment without consent
