Is the best member of your retail staff also a completely honest individual?
Does that seem like a funny question? How could the best member of your staff not be honest?
We constantly come across incidences of dishonesty from our clients’ staff. Staff dishonesty can range from cash theft to stock theft to sweet deals for friends like only ringing through one item when two were taken, etc.
Recently, in an ever more competitive and margin-reducing world, our customers/retailers posed this question to us:
Is there a retail system out there that will help me in only recruiting honest staff members?

Have you ever been driving, on a rainy, muddy day, when your windscreen washer bottle was out of fluid, and you simply could not see the road the ahead? Frustrating, isn’t it?
The retail world is not much different. In times of prosperity, retailers thrive and the need for actionable metrics is often ignored. People hum along; not paying much attention to their important key performance indicators money is flowing.
