Description

Internal theft is responsible for a huge chunk of retail loss—yet only 2% of cases ever come to light.


Professor Emmeline Taylor joins Colin Peacock to discuss the rising complexity of staff dishonesty, from sweethearting and fake returns to collusion at self-checkouts and e-commerce touchpoints.


Drawing on new ECR research, she explores how smarter comms, not bigger budgets, could make the biggest difference.


Think nudges over finger-pointing—reminding colleagues of the risks, responsibilities and shared values.


If retailers can deliver even a small shift in behaviour the potential savings could be enormous.
