Lately this has been happening more frequently at our company and we all wonder what we can do about it. They're asking to put "reminders" not to steal other people's food and/or office supplies. How can a "reminder" help this situation? The individual doesn't need to be reminded not to steal, just keep their hands off from what doesn't belong to them.
Some people find it funny or dismiss it as being petty. But others, including myself, find it disrespectful, dishonest and unethical. If this individual doesn't have any regards for other's people's property, I wonder how he or she is with patients or other types of jobs that involves money or information that is confidential? Will that individual also tamper with medical records, (ie. I heard of CNAs making up BP numbers), steal money or medications? I wouldn't trust this individual to work for me.
Putting a surveillance camera is out of the question as that violates everybody's privacy. Has this ever happened at your facility or company? Did they ever caught the culprit? If so, what happened to him/her?
