QUESTION 5 OF 30

We have a strong employee honesty program in place at Lidl to prevent loss. What would you do if you discovered that a co-worker was stealing product or money?

Loss prevention initiatives are incredibly important in the retail sector. Discuss with the interviewer how you would handle a situation surrounding employee theft. Be sure to avoid sounding self-righteous in your answer. Be diplomatic and refer to company protocol in these situations.

"My reaction to employee theft would differ if I were a retail associate or a retail manager. If I were a manager and caught an employee stealing, I would terminate them immediately. If I were an associate, I would report the incident according to company protocol. I would avoid approaching the employee as I would not want to make it a personal issue."

Anonymous Answer

This is a tough situation as many situations lead someone to steal. I would not like to approach a co-worker myself about this, so I would speak to a supervisor or manager about my suspicions to allow them to follow on according to company protocol.
