However, stealing from an employer is no accident. Rather, it occurs only following a careful evaluation process on the part of the employee. This is the key to prevention. As this process takes place prior to the actual incident, what management does or does not do, will effect the employee, their attitude toward the possibility of stealing from the bank, and in fact, whether or not they choose to commit the act. Where the topic of employee theft is concerned, management's role in defining the norm is especially important.
Management sets the tone and draws the line.
The question of integrity starts at the top. If management does not care, there will be more theft. If management does care, there will be fewer instances, and those which do occur will be more effectively resolved. Thank you for your interest.
