This volume presents the first full-length guide to the alternatives available to companies seeking to reduce both the actual theft of tangible property and the profits lost through cheating on time cards and expense accounts. The authors offer an in-depth discussion of the safeguards employers can implement, ranging from internal controls to physical security measures, and develop a comprehensive theft reduction strategy aimed at creating a working environment that discourages theft. They also address the legal and ethical problems arising from theft control issues as well as the question of equity in the workplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors agree that a plan for reducing employee theft can only be successful if it focuses on making the work environment unattractive to thieves rather than on simply catching thieves. They offer a practical theft reduction strategy, based on techniques that have proven successful in a variety of firms, that begins with the recruitment process and reaches into every aspect of business operation. In their concluding chapter they discuss what to do when a thief is identified. Five appendixes provide additional information including a guide to hiring and keeping good employees, a study of employee theft by Virginia's Crime Prevention Manual Task Force, an examination of what motivates employees, an internal controls checklist, and a list of dos and don'ts in dealing with employee theft. Human resource managers, small business owners, and executives in large corporations will find this volume an invaluable asset in their efforts to confront the growing problem of employee theft.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740841386257,"sku":"NGR9780887486722","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009405223185,"sku":"NIN9780887486722","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/088748672X.jpg?v=1751454671"},{"product_id":"blue-rust-book-joseph-millar-9780887485497","title":"Blue Rust","description":"Like Conrad's Marlow, Joseph Millar speaks with fierce compassion and the authority of hard-won experience. In his remarkable third collection, Blue Rust, he lays down the shield of irony without taking up the consolations of easy sentiment or detached despair. The result is an unstrained originality: lyrics that avoid the metronome, leaps of imagination in which the associative logic never trails off into self-indulgent incoherence. Millar looks hard at a world that is doomed and beautiful. What sets Blue Rust apart is its ability to honor both sides.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50373302944017,"sku":"CIN0887485499G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52732736471313,"sku":"CIN0887485499VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0887485499.jpg?v=1751330912"},{"product_id":"shine-book-joseph-millar-9780887487033","title":"Shine","description":"\u003cp\u003ePoems that arise from the currents of felt experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJoseph Millar's lyrical poems explore work, love, filial connection, life, and death. This is Millar's sixth collection, and it reaches a deeper, more sonic level than his usual narrative voice. A collection of half songs rendered in a hardscrabble lyricism, they are propelled by their shifting, irregular rhymes, half rhymes, and off rhymes. The poems' subjects grow from moments of daily life and their deeper obsessions--love, work, death, desire--and the making of art itself. Touched with more humor than earlier work, and with an unpredictable timing that seems to listen to itself as it travels down the page, the poems are part wonder and part reflection, carried along by their music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009379664145,"sku":"NIN9780887487033","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51215866954001,"sku":"NGR9780887487033","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51837732487441,"sku":"CIN0887487033G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0887487033.jpg?v=1751045153"},{"product_id":"kingdom-book-joseph-millar-9780887486210","title":"Kingdom","description":"Kingdom extends Joseph Millar's articulate devotion to the astonishments of daily life--their mingled beauty and pain. As in his first three books, Millar, like the late Philip Levine, has a keen eye for the hardscrabble details of working-class lives--from California's wheat fields to the Lehigh Valley to the rooftops of Paris and a host of other locales down here on earth in the kingdom. Perhaps more fully than any recent book, this one calls to mind Dylan Thomas's assessment that the best poems show us that we are alone and not alone in the unknown world, that our bliss and suffering are forever shared, and forever all our own. Kingdom shows Millar working at the height of his powers, sifting the rag and bone shop of the heart for songs and stories. It's his best book yet.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51606371008785,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51606372057361,"sku":"CIN0887486215G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0887486215.jpg?v=1751330912"},{"product_id":"mandala-magic-the-ultimate-mindfulness-coloring-book-book-joseph-millar-9781522972204","title":"Mandala Magic - The Ultimate Mindfulness Coloring Book","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51677008003345,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51677009182993,"sku":"NIN9781522972204","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/152297220X.jpg?v=1750893916"},{"product_id":"overtime-book-joseph-millar-9780910055741","title":"Overtime","description":"Joseph Millar's poems come out of the American landscape like runaway diesel trucks loaded with miners, electricians, waitresses, ditch diggers, mechanics, factory workers, the homeless, the hopeless, and the lost.
