Workplace theft is on the rise and it doesn\u2019t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. It\u2019s quite unfortunate that we live in a world where we tell people not to steal from another, let alone their own employer. In many ways, we have all participated in workplace theft without even realizing it. Taking any sort of office supply is considered workplace theft. That is not something to take with us to expand our collection at home. We are not entitled to remove anything from the office and migrate it to our personal space. But for many, that is how it begins. First, it starts with something as small as a pen and, before you know it, can progress all the way to stealing money from the company.<\/p>\n

There are many \u201creasons\u201d or \u201cexcuses\u201d as to how an individual justifies this act of fraud. Among those are \u201cit\u2019s only an office supply\u201d, \u201cno one will get hurt\u201d, \u201cthey owe me\u201d. Any individual who maintains this mindset is dangerous to their employer. Other contributing factors include a demotion, receiving a poor evaluation, and fear of job loss.<\/p>\n
