Your employees may be stealing from you without you even realizing it. The most common thing that employees steal these days is time. CHC Glass & Mirror advises that time theft is the new white-collar crime. We can help you prevent this from happening by installing glass walls in your commercial space to keep employees on track. Studies show that employees work harder if they do not have seclusion because they are aware that you can keep your eye on them if you need to. Let’s talk more about this below.
Stealing Time
As we just mentioned, stealing time is the new white-collar crime. Many employees spend their day doing things other than working because there are so many temptations out there. With cell phones, employees spend their time texting with their family and friends and playing games. It has also been proven that employees spent a tremendous amount of time on their social media platforms rather than doing their jobs. Glass walls help prevent this from happening because you can see whether your employees are on their cell phones or working.
Stealing Supplies
Another common white-collar crime is stealing supplies or products. Depending on your business, your employees may think that they are entitled to a few extra pens and sticky pads or to the products that you are selling. In order to prevent this, you can install glass walls around your supply storage or your product storage. This allows you to keep an eye on everything and discourages employees from giving themselves five-fingered discounts on your office supplies and the products you are selling. It may seem extreme to have to install glass walls around these areas, you’d be surprised at how much money you are losing to employee theft.
Chatting
Finally, employees have a tendency to chat with each other rather than work if they have private workspaces. Installing glass walls and dividers between the employees helps to ensure that they keep their nose to the grindstone instead of sitting at their desks and talking. We realize that all of this seems extreme and may make your employees mad, but if you suspect that your employees are not working to their potential because they are goofing off, glass walls and doors can help prevent this behavior. In fact, many commercial spaces have installed glass walls and doors not only to prevent white-collar crime but also to boost the space’s aesthetics.
