What you think of me is none of my business

The # 1 specific reason for business failure... Embezzlement & Theft

Here's a quick summary of the material we have — summarized from government studies. Let me warn you, it's pretty scary:

Retail Industry

  • For every $100,000 in sales... $3,000 is stolen by employees
    90% of all employees steal cash and only 3% are caught 10% of all customers shoplift and only 2% are caught
  • 70% of all vendors steal from the businesses

Food Industry

  • For every $100,000 in sales...
  • $14,000 is given away or eaten by employees

Frightening eh?

joyce baywood employee policy software user"I wanted to tell you how easy the Jian Employee Manual Builder is to use. The Manual's reference to the law is a wonderful reminder of the details we may forget when writing, and the number of options given for specific policies is terrific. The software gave me answers to policies I never even thought of!"
