Dear Stikland Industrial Business Community<\/p>\n
It has come to our attention that in more than one instance businesses are suffering losses due to theft by their own employees.\u00a0 Recently two businesses lost tools and equipment due to newly appointed staff.<\/p>\n
Sadly, the staff were employed without any background checks, copies of IDs or proof of address which means that the business has no details to assist the SAPS in conducting their investigations and resolving the case or finding their property back.<\/p>\n
We therefore urge businesses to please follow some basic good practices when hiring new staff, even if it is deemed casual or short term labour:<\/p>\n
There are many other good HR practices and safeguards that can be researched and applied with minimal cost implications.\u00a0 Please don\u2019t be a victim and take the necessary precautions.<\/p>\n
