People

Abstract

The use of people to control losses is perhaps the most important LP method. This chapter is dedicated to this very important topic. All employees of any retail organization are responsible for controlling profit-draining loss. However, senior management often designates one individual to be responsible for the administration of a loss control program. This individual may handle asset protection duties in addition to other responsibilities, or as their primary responsibility. Additional full or part-time individuals, whose main function is LP, may be employed by the retailer, or may be provided by an outside contract agency.
