Loss prevention is a set of practices designed to preserve profit. Profit preservation is how a business reduces preventable loss, or simply business costs. A business cost can be intentional, for example, internal or external theft. A business cost can also be accidental, for example, improper training or poor operating procedures. Each loss prevention service deals with a specific part of the definition of loss prevention.
External theft services focuses on combating theft that comes from customers. An example of customer theft is a customer walking into a store, pocketing an item, and then walking out with the item without paying for the item. External theft can also be in other forms, for example, a customer switching the price tags on an expensive item for the price tag of a cheaper item, or even trying to make a fraudulent return.
Internal theft services focuses on combating theft by company employees. Employees can steal in ways like a customer would, for example, pocketing or finding a way of getting company property from the company. Employee theft can also be in other forms, for example, theft of time where an employee clocks in and then sits in the breakroom. While watching employees for different kinds of theft, observed violations of company policy and industry safety standards are also documented and reported. By dividing the surveillance and assigning one group of employees to focus on external theft and one group of employees to focus on internal theft, surveillance can become a teachable skill. The loss prevention agents we assign to your account can learn the required surveillance and interpersonal skills by being assigned to internal theft services first and then move into external theft when they feel comfortable and confident approaching a customer.
This service is similar to internal theft services, but with a twist. The security guard on the account will be completely undercover and hired into the client's company like a regular employee. The goal is for as few people in the the client's company to know the service is being performed as possible, preferably only AHG Security Services and the people tasked with briefing us. Once "hired" the security guard will use their interpersonal and investigatory skills to build the case from the inside. Everyone in the location will be watched, not only the suspected employees.
Internally managing e-learning and employee certificate files can be a nightmare and take time away from running your business. This is where AHG Security Services can step in. AHG Security Services has made investments into quality e-learning programs for our own employees. AHG Security Services can add your company's employees into our program as learners. AHG Security Services will work to understand your company's e-learning needs and then work to develop courses that meet those needs. The e-learning that AHG Security Services can provide can be as simple as onboarding & annual in-service training classes, or they can be as complex as being the actual training videos that each employee needs to see before starting to work in their role. As add-ons to this service, AHG Security Services can create refresher style classes if your business revolves around your employees having a specific type of license and manage your company's license renewal system that reminds each employee when they need to renew their license. If your company is in an industry where your employees need constant testing in being able to think critically, AHG Security Services can also work to create scenario based classes to keep those skills sharp. AHG Security Services can work to customize this service to fit your company's needs. Being trained to a quality level will reduce business costs that come from careless mistakes.
Companies of all sizes (start-up, growing, and corporate) are susceptible of falling into the "profit first" trap. The profit first trap is the shift that a business has from their core values to their bottom line (profits). Once a business is solely focused on profits, there are a lot of missed smaller opportunities that could maximize their profits. AHG Security Services' extensive strategic knowledge allows us to size-up clients, to find and take advantage of those missed opportunities. A missed opportunity can range from reinvestments back into the company; to scaling back to focus on core products; to reorganization and redevelopment of company resources. AHG Security Services can assist clients in creating company policies that generate the highest profits and are best in class for their security needs.
