There are many methods, programs and systems to track your assets and prevent loss, however one of the most important and overlooked practices is a well-structured exit interview. When an employee is retiring, resigning or being dismissed, the exit interview should be as important as the hiring process when tracking and preventing asset loss.

The hiring process is an essential start to any robust loss prevention program, and allows the company to track their assets. During the hiring phase, the company may provide employees with uniforms, access cards, keys, passwords, vehicles, parking passes, gas cards, cellphones or any other company property that is necessary for the employee to perform their job description.
