A new study by the Institute for Corporate Productivity found “27% of respondents in large companies – those with 10,000 or more employees – said crime in the workplace has risen during the current economic crisis, while 15% of all respondents, regardless of company size, reported the same.”

The study pointed to mounting economic pressures on employees as a motivator and recommended increasing communication with employees regarding theft, conducting additional audits and paying more attention to background checks prior to the hiring of new employees to combat the problem.
