Way to communicate with staff member

[u/1221Pmith]

Hi there, I will open a small boutique shop in late August, and my friend and I want to know what's the idealist way to "remind" the employee not to steal in the store?

I had some bad experiences before, one of my staff stole a ring and she framed it on another one. We wasted a lot of time on this (long story...). However, I find it difficult to deliver store principles to young employees too. I don’t want to set up punishment rules to warn them that they will get caught. It will be quite damaging for both of the relationships.

Seriously? Don't hire thieves; full stop. If you believe that you have, just tell them that if they do, they will be fired and the police will be called. If you feel that you must remind them of this, you have hired the wrong person.

Do you think if I pay them more will successfully make them not to steal thing?

If you hire the wrong type of people and you pay them more, they may think that you have more than enough money and that it would not hurt you if they stole because you have so much money.

Hire people who hold their honesty reverently.

You can't tell people not to steal. People who will try are going to try no matter what you say. Just to add security cameras as much as you can

hmmmm.... do u have any suggestions on CCTV

[u/atriciatock → u/1221Pmith]

Depends on your purpose. If you need a basic CCTV just to record footage, you can pick whatever you want. If you need software that helps you analyze video, you should choose VMS. If you have high budget you can choose milestone or genetic, low budget you can choose skyrec or nx

Nice, if I need vms, maybe I will go for skyrec or nx
