Preventive habits at work

1.- If you open and close the business, check that there are no suspects around and try to be accompanied.

2.- Try to have the cash register separate from the counter, with a window and visible to other employees. Keep the bare minimum of money in cash. Modernize your payment and collection methods. Avoid going to the bank to make money withdrawals as much as possible, pay or collect through electronic wallets or, eventually, with a credit card or debit card. Use electronic banking online, establish strict security measures to protect it, as well as to preserve your crypto asset portfolio.

3.- Good money management policies ensure that the money received is equivalent to the merchandise and services issued. They reduce the possibility of theft, reducing the amount that can be stolen during a violent robbery and help keep accounts well.

4.- Do not install advertisements, posters or objects that obstruct visibility towards the street. Make sure the office's exterior windows and doors are visible from the street and to surrounding buildings. Signs and posters should take up no more than 15% of the window.

5.- Close the business when there are demonstrations or mass meetings in your surroundings.

6.- Within your work, establish a policy of clean desks or counters. Never leave your wallet, bag or valuable items nearby; lock them up, clean your desk when you leave, put away anything that can be easily stolen.

7.- In larger environments, plan and establish a general security policy, from which the rules and procedures that all personnel must follow will emerge in accordance with fundamental aspects, such as the opening and closing of the establishment, access and registration of clients, suppliers and couriers; detailing how to open doors, authorized hours, as well as procedures in case of theft or emergency. Instruct personnel in the operation of equipment and safety systems. Emphasize the guidelines, be strict and inflexible in your operation and carry out procedures in the event of eventualities.

8.- Establish a hiring policy (recruitment and verification of applicant data). If you are going to hire someone, take precautions by analyzing profiles thoroughly, certifying references from previous jobs.

9.- Promote the company code of ethics and values to staff.
