Shrink, Security and Safety Health Check

by Jigarkumar Shah, from the Community

This retail-focused health check helps stores assess and reduce shrink while strengthening security and safety. It covers deep-dive action plans for processes, lockdown and security, and people practices. Review waste controls, internal transfers, refunds and voids, and stock routines like Gapscan, LSI, and OSI. Verify physical security measures including CCTV, EAS gates, lighting, door function, body cams, key control, and secure high-value backstock. Promote guard engagement and use of security tools, ensure incident reporting access, and reinforce STAR training. Front-end controls address self-service risks, DKE investigation, walk-off reporting, and checkout management. Waste and surplus handling includes secure areas, colleague shop policy, and reduction processes, enabling a comprehensive plan review to drive compliance and loss prevention.
