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

Woolworths is a multi-billion dollar company with thousands of employees. Loss prevention initiatives are mandatory, especially in an organization this massive. 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."

"I value honesty so if I saw a co-worker stealing; I would tell my manager immediately. I know the damage that theft can cause to an organization and I would never participate in such actions or allow others to. I would follow all internal protocol for reporting such incidents."
