The proverbial "disgruntled employee", typically considered the source of most employee theft, may also be very good at disguising his or her complaints about the company. In fact, that same person is very likely to be your best worker.

Executive Security Group, LLC. Of New York / New Jersey and Florida, a security-consulting firm has compiled information over the past twenty-five years of operation through personnel experience and with data from the Uniform Crime Report of the FBI. Along with various personal and other studies on theft in the work place, produced many findings about the pervasiveness of theft on the job. Some of the studies involved anonymous questionnaires to employees in a sample of industries, and follow‑up interviews with employee representatives to determine their perceptions of theft and their reactions to the employee assessments. We have found that the typical dishonest employee falls into particular areas. Some of the findings and conclusions are:
Employment of the threat of dismissal, alone, is not effective deterrents, particularly for the young employee.
"Internal theft occurs on all employment levels". Many of the cases Executive Security Group has investigated were
Initially uncovered by a security survey, where employers could not pinpoint the cause. "In every case, the employer
Was surprised to learn who the culprit was". His advice: "Take no employee for granted, refine Inventory control,
Restrict Key access, background investigations, don't be too demanding, and conduct regular security Investigations or Surveys".
In summary, theft is a widespread work place problem. It is not reduced or controlled without specific policies and programs. It is greatest where opportunities are great and perceived that the likelihood of detection is least. Industrial discipline ‑ "firing" ‑ is not, by itself, an effective control.
