Loss Prevention

Loss Prevention & Security Consultations are custom tailored to meet the specific needs of the client company and fees are applied accordingly. Companies invariably experience a positive ROI, to include greater profitability, less employee turnover and a smoother running operation.

Employee Training & Awareness Seminars
Motivate work staff to understand and cooperate in the company’s loss prevention efforts. The seminars can be tailored to target rank and file or be presented on a managerial level. They have a solid and important impact on improving the Loss Prevention awareness, and building the involvement and cooperation of employees to minimize the problem. This education process is necessary to maintain high levels of employee integrity and enlist the help of your employees to reduce drains and profits. Staff awareness seminars are supported with poster campaigns and periodic newsletter-type updates.

Loss Prevention Seminars
Provide management with the concepts of an effective loss prevention program, instructing on the techniques needed to maintain a healthy work environment and to minimize losses. Seminars are tailored to meet the level of personnel attending and provide a firm building block for an ongoing loss prevention program. Seminars are augmented with instructional handouts and worksheets.

Loss Prevention Surveys and Consultations
Analyze internal policies and procedures to ensure they are proper and adequate to maintain a solid loss prevention program. Close communication with Human Resources and existing security and loss prevention personnel ensure the policies and procedures fit the specific client company’s culture and profile. OSHA and ADA etc. requirements are reviewed to ensure proper compliance with regulations. Employee handbooks are reviewed and updated.

A Data Quest consultant reviews and evaluates a company location. Specific recommendations to enhance the overall physical security and eliminate gaps in security are generated. In addition, employee policies and procedures are reviewed to reduce loss and improve controls. Information to improve employee screening, maintain high levels of integrity and reduce loss and drains on profit is presented in detailed written form, as well as executive briefings. Data Quest can even organize and set up a proprietary Loss Prevention/Security department within a company to formalize that function.
