how would you traditionally address a employees who have stolen company property to feed his family in similar human resources issue?

An employee stealing company property is a very serious issue and needs to handled very professionally. The following steps are traditionally followed in such cases.
1. Thorough Investigation: The first step is to investigate the employee who is suspected of stealing.No action should be taken before proper investigation. Video evidence, statement of fellow employees, any other physical evidence has to be collected. In some cases, a 3rd party may be hired for carrying out the investigations. All such evidence that is gathered has to be properly documented.
2. Discussion with the employee: After confirming the theft from the investigations, a discussion is required between the employee, his manager and HR manager. Any other person whom the company feels is required, may also join the discussion. Through this discussion, the employee should be made aware of the situation. It is important to understand the purpose of the theft through the discussion. The theft could be intentional or non-intentional or due to some other reason. The employee should be then made aware of the serious consequences of his action.
3. Evaluating the situation and severity of the theft: A thorough assessment needs to made of the situation and severity of the theft. The employee’s previous record, integrity should be considered before taking any major step. The future actions may be a strong disciplinary action, providing consultation to the employee, or even termination and legal action. The action would be taken on a case by case basis and may differ for different employees.
4. Supervising the employee: Any employee who has been found guilty of stealing has to be monitored closely. This is true for all cases, ie if the employee is being terminated, or a disciplinary action is taken against him, or he is being counselled. In all scenarios, the employee’s actions and behaviour have to carefully supervised.
5. Preventing future thefts: Stringent background checks have to be done for each employee. On joining the company, all employees have to be made clear about the company policies clearly mentioning no tolerance against theft.
Organizations should handle all cases of theft in a very professional manner. Four most important considerations are Evidence of theft, Severity of theft, the situation in which theft has occurred and Company policies. All actions should be taken after carefully considering the above points. A culture should be developed in the organization, which promotes integrity and discipline among the employees. all employees need to be made aware of the serious consequences in case of thefts. Also, employees have to be advised to report another employee’s dishonesty and they should know that failure to report would also lead to disciplinary actions.

  4. Your company has traditionally provided health insurance not only to employees but also to retirees who have worked for the company for at least 20 years at the time of retirement. Seven years ago, your company cut costs by switching current employees from open-ended health insurance to health maintenance organizations (HMOs). At that time, the company kept open-ended insurance for retirees because research indicated that retirees wanted to keep their current doctors, which they might not be able to do with HMOs. But the high cost of the open-ended insurance program gives the company no choice: to continue to insure retirees, your company must hold down costs, and HMOs offer the best way of doing that. Under the open-ended plan, the retiree pays 20% of all costs (up to a yearly ceiling of $10,000 and a lifetime ceiling of $100,000) and the company pays 80%. In an HMO, more costs will be covered for the patient. Routine doctors’ visits, for example, charge only a $10 co-payment. Most tests, such as mammograms, X-rays, and blood work, are covered 100%. Hospitalization is covered completely, and there’s much less paperwork. By presenting their insurance card when filling a prescription, patients pay only the co-payment, rather than having to pay the entire amount and then filing for a partial reimbursement later. The bad news for retirees is that they have to go to a physician listed with the HMO. If their current physician is not on the list, retirees will have to switch doctors to retain benefits. Furthermore, the primary care physician must refer the patient to any other health care providers. That is, someone who wants to see a specialist or go to the emergency room must call the primary care physician first. Primary care physicians always approve such referrals whenever they seem medically advisable, but the requirement does limit the patient’s freedom. Further, since HMO physicians are paid a flat fee, some people fear that they will be reluctant to prescribe expensive treatments (which might cost more than the fee), even when those treatments are essential. Your company offers a choice of HMOs. Informational meetings will be held next month for retirees (and anyone else who wishes to attend) to explain the various options. As Vice President for Human Resources, you must write a form letter to all retirees, explaining the change and telling them how to indicate which HMO they prefer. Enclosed with each letter will be a postcard listing the plan options. Retirees must return the postcard within two months, indicating which plan they have chosen. Anyone who does not return a postcard will be assigned to an HMO by the company. You should make up a name and address for a sample recipient. You can either make up a return address for your organization or provide an actual address. Hints: It is up to you to decide what organization you work for. Ideally you should pick an organization you know something about. When writing your letter, consider the following questions about your audience: About how many retirees do you have? What percentage are under 80, in reasonably good health? What percentage are 80 and over, sometimes with more serious health problems? How well educated are your retirees? How easy will it be for them to understand the HMO options? What times would be convenient for the retirees to come to meetings? Make sure your information is presented clearly and organized in a reader-friendly way. When possible, use reader benefits and positive emphasis without being misleading about negatives.
