QUESTION 5 OF 32

We have a strong employee honesty program in place at REI 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."
