The Real Costs of Shrinkage
 
Theft is a reality of all businesses.  Do you know what the shrinkage is in your business?  Do you know what an acceptable shrinkage is for your industry?  Shrinkage is the difference between what should be there in terms of inventory, and what is really there.  Shrinkage is a combination of internal theft (employee theft), external theft (shoplifting), paper-work error and vendor fraud.  It is a loss of profit.
 
The actual cost of shrinkage trickles down to many areas of your business.  Take a look around and see where you might improve areas that are within your control.  You might take a look at your store layout and merchandising. It could also be as simple as providing better customer service, both externally to your customers, and internally to your employees.  The key is to know where you could improve and start making the changes to decrease your shrinkage.

MTEC is offering Retail Loss Prevention Training Complimentary on November 1, 2016

This workshop details how internal and external theft contributes to that loss as well as the best defense to minimize it. Also discussed is the rising cost of thefts due to organized gang activity and how to protect your business from this growing problem. Highly recommended for businesses of all sizes!


DATE: Tuesday, November 1, 2016 
TIME: 9:00am-12:00pm 
COST: Complimentary (Regular Price $99.00+GST)
