Positive Loss Prevention

Summary: Excellent overview - few details
Review: An excellent overview of the current thinking of corporate retail loss prevention. This is an excellent primer for retail loss prevention as it is espoused by most large corporations. It gives few "in depth" details - this should not guide you in how to achieve this condition (if it does, you're just starting out or else you're in serious trouble). However, this gives an excellent introduction to the new loss prevention specialist. "Hands on" instruction should follow the reading of this book.

Summary: Excellent, professional training guide for retailers.
Review: I found this book a good aid for training employees in Loss Prevention. The book has an easy flow and the worksheets at the end of each chapter bring the important issues home! The book has a unique approach to teach employees about Loss Prevention. I think all types of businesses would benefit from this information.

Summary: Excellent ROI Potentials Here
Review: Most retail loss prevention publications and material on the market today are directed specifically to retail executives, owner/operators, or associated loss prevention personnel. Mr. Tilley's recent book and entry to this market, however, has chosen to address two of the major components in the retailing shrinkage equation - shoplifting and employee theft - from a unique perspective. Mr. Tilley has put together a very comprehensive instructional primer, with a workbook review format at the end of each chapter, which is designed to be put directly into the hands of each and every front-line employee, in any retail operation. This book introduces the employee to the basic concepts of retail shrinkage and the cause and effect of everyday losses. More importantly, the book introduces the front-line employee to those simple, but invaluable, time-tested techniques, by which he or she can become an important and intrinsic part of the store's loss prevention program. Most of those loss prevention applications and situation solutions discussed in this primer have an added and common denominator benefit for the retailer - improved customer service.

Summary: Los Prevention Made Easy
Review: Positive Loss Prevention is a great way to introduce employees to the topic of Loss Prevention.It is clearly written and gives a very practical approach to training employees. Its extremely positive approach is a departure from the majority of books written on the subject.It takes the participant through fourteen quality chapters with the appropiate workbooks for them to complete.When they have completed the book the employee can obtain a certificate of accomplishment.I believe this book can be a great asset for the retailer and for emoployee training. Training employees is the key in adding to bottom line profit by reducing losses.

Summary: Too little coverage on Internal Theft
Review: The coverage on Loss due to external factors is fair but not deep enough. So only suitable as a first reading for someone who is new to retailing. The coverage about Internal theft is far from satisfactory !!
