Reduce Your Losses by Up to 68%!
February 5-6, 2024 – The Westin, Las Vegas, NV, US
Do you know just how much shrinkage is eroding your profits?
Do you know that with the right Loss Prevention strategy up to 68% of your shrinkage can be controlled?
Do you know that the major share of your shrinkage is caused by people on your payroll – through error, intentional damage and theft?
Are you aware that only about 21% of your shrinkage is the result of shoplifting?
Reducing shrinkage in retail is an on-going effort requiring commitment from all areas of the organization. It is not sufficient to train floor staff to watch out for thieves – employees or otherwise.
Achieving excellence in Loss Prevention requires a thorough understanding of the underlying causes. Because shrinkage is caused by process & systemic failure, opportunity and the human factor, all of these must be addressed and must be synchronized to make the improvements necessary to stop profit erosion.
This program is designed to provide understanding of all causes and to provide the know-how and the tools to reduce shrinkage and, therefore, enhance your profit picture.
Benefits to the Participants are:
Strengthen participants’ understanding of what is to be gained by making Loss Prevention a priority.
Improve participants’ understanding of the critical elements and distinct advantages of an effective Loss Prevention strategy.
