In the wake of the recession, more businesses are facing a growing financial threat: employee theft. New research shows that employers are seeing an increase in internal crimes, ranging from fictitious sales transactions and illegal kickbacks, to the theft of office equipment and retail products meant for sale to customers.
Employers suspect that workers are pilfering from them to cope with financial difficulties at home or in anticipation of being laid off.
What's more, the most trusted workers are often the ones who are committing the thefts.
In leaner financial times, people have a tendency to give in to temptation to commit criminal behavior while employers give additional attention to the bottom line resulting in more fraud being discovered. About 20% of employers polled said workplace theft has become a moderate to very big problem recently.
