Old Navy Receives 'Hope Award' from National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children
So proud to be part of Old Navy and Gap Inc. team. We received the
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children "Hope Award" recently and it
is among my proudest moments. I love working at an organization that is not only
successful but also "does more than sell clothes."
-Chris Nelson, VP Loss Prevention at Gap Inc./Old Navy
Opioid Addiction Fueling Retail Theft
85% of Drug Overdoses Linked to Gift Card Fraud in One City
Facial Recognition and Other Deterrents Helping to Stem the Tide
While shoplifting continues to be, for the most part, an opportunistic crime,
professional shoplifters who steal solely for resale or profit now comprise 10%
of the total dollar losses due to shoplifting. These professionals include
hardened criminals who steal as a lifestyle, international shoplifting gangs who
steal for profit, and drug addicts who steal to feed their habits.
DRUG PROBLEM: With more than two million
Americans now addicted to prescription pain killers and another 600,000
suffering from a substance use disorder involving heroin, that last group is
particularly troubling. To feed their drug habits, opioid and heroin addicts
often steal from large retail stores, then return the stolen merchandise (with
no receipt) in exchange for gift cards. The gift cards are then resold on
the street, with the resulting cash used to buy drugs. While no nationwide
research showing the connection between opioid addiction and shoplifting has
been conducted to date, many police departments have direct experience dealing
with this trend. Over a three-month period in 2017, for example, the Knoxville,
Tenn., police department found that almost 85% of drug overdoses were
directly linked to gift cards.
To counter these trends, both the police and retailers have begun to take a more
aggressive approach with regard to shoplifting. Retailers, for their part, are
improving store layout and displays to make it easier for staff to exercise
surveillance, and upgrading security by restricting unaccompanied minors and
keeping nigh-value items in locked displays. Police and retailers are also
increasingly working together, forming task forces and establishing
early-warning systems to stem organized shoplifting activity.
FACIAL RECOGNITION: Another effective
deterrent has been facial recognition software, which uses image processing and
machine learning algorithms to match a photo of an unidentified person (known as
a probe photo) against a database of photos of identified persons who previously
have been convicted of shoplifting or other crimes. The face identification
algorithms in the software then produce a list of possible matches, with each
match having a score that indicates the quality or likelihood of a match. The
police use that list to either rule out or further investigate each match, just
as they would with any other investigative lead.
While facial recognition software has been available for more than a decade, it
has become a more viable tool for targeting shoplifters as prices have dropped
and the technology has improved. Advances such as deep learning have produced
significant gains when processing probe photos which previously had been
challenged by issues such as low resolution, poor lighting, motion blur,
off-angle faces, and the presence of facial hair, glasses, or hats.
PRIVACY ISSUES: Facial recognition software
does exactly what investigators normally would do, albeit faster and with a
higher degree of accuracy. Nevertheless, the technology has come in for its
share of criticism from those who worry that it represents a threat to personal
privacy. Given that, it may be important for retailers and the police to make
the public aware that facial recognition software is in use, and that facial
recognition searches by law enforcement are focused on known offenders and
suspects in crimes.

Collierville, TN: Woman Says She Was Racially Profiled, Accused of Shoplifting
and Handcuffed at Victoria’s Secret Store
A Victoria’s Secret store in the Carriage Crossing mall in Collierville, Tenn.,
has issued an apology and offered a $100 gift card to a customer who was
handcuffed and accused of shoplifting Monday after attempting to return an item
to have a security tag removed. Instead of simply having the tag removed from
her item, Jovita Jones Cage had the cops called on her by the store’s manager,
and Cage says she was racially profiled.
“She got the receipts out and was able to find the right one and remove the
sensor. I told her she could keep the bag there because I was going to go
shopping around the store,” Cage said, in an
interview with WREG.
As Cage continued shopping, she noticed a Collierville police officer enter the
store. The officer approached her, and asked the store manager if she was the
one they’d called about. It was then that the officer handcuffed Cage and told
her she was under arrest for shoplifting.
Cage contends she was treated harshly because she’s black and was in tears even
after the cop realized she wasn’t shoplifting. Even though Cage did nothing
wrong, the cop escorted her out of the store and told her she was banned from
returning.
Victoria’s Secret issued a statement about the incident and said the store
manager has been fired: “We are sincerely sorry for the experience Ms. Jones
Cage had in our store. Bottom line, we made a mistake, and we do not tolerate
this behavior. Our head of stores has been trying to reach Ms. Jones Cage to
personally apologize for her experience. Victoria’s Secret is adamant that all
customers be treated with dignity and respect. We have investigated the matter,
and the associate involved is no longer employed with our brand. In addition, we
are meeting with every associate in the store to reinforce our values and
policies. We are committed to delivering an excellent shopping experience to
every customer, every time … we have work to do – and we are dedicated to this
mission.”

Walmart Sues Sr. VP, Top Tax Executive for Jumping to Amazon
Walmart Inc. sued its former chief tax officer for violating her
employment agreement by defecting to online rival Amazon Inc., the latest
broadside in the slugfest between the two retail giants.
Lisa Wadlin, Walmart’s senior vice president and top tax executive,
wrongfully left the Bentonville, Arkansas-based chain last month to move to
Amazon’s headquarters in Seattle, Walmart officials said Wednesday in a lawsuit.
They’re seeking to stop Wadlin from taking the Amazon position until May 2020
and bar her from handing over “sensitive business information obtained at
Walmart.”

Three New Fitting Room Solutions to Be Launched at NRF Protect by CONTROLTEK
 CONTROLTEK,
an emerging leader in retail product protection, will launch three new asset
protection solutions designed for fitting rooms at the next week’s NRF Protect
conference in Dallas - at Booth #615.
“Fitting rooms continue to be a challenge for asset protection teams,” said Tom
Meehan, CONTROLTEK’s Chief Strategy Officer. “That’s why we are launching three
new solutions designed to deter and decrease shrink in them. Our new
Apparelguard solution is a magnet detector which alerts the staff to the
presence of an illegal magnetic detacher. The Count-It solution is the counter
which enables the store associates to know how many people went through the
fitting room, and Detect-It is a deterrence solution designed to discourage
shoplifters from attempting to remove EAS and RFID tags in the fitting room.”

Checkpoint Systems’ Demonstrating Eight Loss Prevention, Merchandise Visibility
Retail Solutions at NRF Protect June 11-13
 Checkpoint Systems, a leading global supplier of Electronic Article Surveillance
(EAS), RFID solutions and Alpha High-Theft Solutions for the retail industry,
today announced that it will make a donation to the LP Benevolent Fund for each
of the first 400 product demonstrations at Booth #1207 it provides to retailers from June 11
-13 at NRF Protect.
The Loss Prevention Foundation established the
LP Benevolent Fund as a way to
offer assistance to the families of LP professionals who have lost their lives
while conducting the duties of their profession.
businesswire.com
Why 'intention and tone' are useful techniques for LP interviews
Facilitating communication through body language
The way a loss prevention specialist conducts and manages themselves during an
interrogation makes a huge difference in how many accurate, honest details
they’re able to extract to support their investigation versus how little
cooperation they get.
That’s also true for human resources specialists trying to choose the right
person to hire, as well as store managers trying to keep an unhappy customer
from escalating into verbal or physical violence.
These are occupational challenges that arise every day. Handled in an
ineffective way, they can cause harm and cost retailers considerable financial
losses. That is why more and more retailers are trying to move the odds in their
favor by hiring body language consultants to help enhance job training.
Lisa Mitchell, founder of Power Body Language, is one such consultant. With 17
years of corporate operations experience, Mitchell’s scientifically based
behavioral approach to managing challenging face-to-face interactions is based
on the ability to read the body language of people. The skills she teaches to
corporate-level executives can be passed down to employees at the regional,
district and store levels.
Mitchell will lead a session on ways to quickly move toward positive
communication results at the NRF PROTECT conference in Dallas, June 11-13.

Why More Employers Should Provide 'Mental Health First Aid'
Everyone knows that first-aid training saves lives - which is why it’s a common
component of many companies’ wellness efforts. Yet few organizational leaders
choose to educate their workforces about mental illness, a set of conditions
that cause more lost workdays and impairment than arthritis, asthma, back pain,
diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.
Employee mental health and substance abuse issues cost U.S. employers between
$80 billion and $100 billion a year, according to NIMH. Moreover, workers
experiencing unresolved depression are estimated to encounter a 35 percent drop
in their productivity, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness
(NAMI).

Global counterfeits to reach almost $3 trillion in value, says INTA
The global value of counterfeit and pirated goods could reach $2.8 trillion by
2022, according to the International Trademark Association (INTA). This figure
will show a vast increase from the $1.13 trillion value in 2013. Key
factors leading to this increase are online sales of counterfeit goods and
digital piracy.
Tish Berard, INTA president, said: “Counterfeiters are becoming so adept at
producing and selling counterfeit goods that it is frequently difficult for
shoppers to distinguish real versus fake.”

Germany: Amazon criticized for destroying returned items and new products
Ecommerce giant Amazon is massively destroying returned items and new products.
And through Amazon, external vendors also get rid of their unsold goods. All
kinds of products are destroyed in German logistics warehouses on a large scale,
such as refrigerators, washing machines, cell phones, mattresses and more.
This is shown by research from the German television show Frontal21 and magazine
Wirtschaftswoche. They have based their conclusion on internal product lists,
pictures and statements made by Amazon employees. The German Ministry for the
Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety says it’s a huge scandal.

U.S. Cybersecurity Worker Shortage is Widespread & Expanding
The demand for cybersecurity workers across the United State continues to grow,
according to new data from CyberSeek. Nationally, said the report, there were
301,873 cybersecurity job openings in the private and public sectors during the
12-month period between April 2017 and March 2018. This included 13,610 openings
in the public sector.
The total employed U.S. cybersecurity workforce in the relevant 12 months is
768,096, the report said.
The new data from CyberSeek – a joint development of CompTIA and Burning Glass
Technologies comes on the heels of a new government report that calls for
immediate and sustained improvements in the country’s cybersecurity workforce.
“The cybersecurity talent shortage is widespread, impacting all 50 states”
said Matthew Sigelman, chief executive officer at Burning Glass Technologies.
“In every state, the employed cybersecurity workforce would have to grow by over
50 percent to align with the market average supply and demand ratio.”

Have Stores in Colorado?
New Colorado Breach Notification Rules Signed Into Law
If your company has customers in Colorado, get ready to revamp your policies
notifying victims of a data breach. Last week, Gov. John Hickenlooper signed
into law requirements for notification that are the most stringent in the
nation.
Under the new law, if an individual's personal information is part of a
breach, he must be notified within 30 days after discovery - no exceptions.
In addition, the law, passed with bipartisan support, broadens the definition of
personally identifying information to including health care and financial data.
Notification requirements include telling affected individuals which data was
released and the estimated data of the breach.

Study: Consumers expect more data security regulations
Growing frustration with how companies handle customer data
As if increasing data breaches aren’t enough, the unauthorized pilfering of 87
million Facebook users’ data by political data firm Cambridge Analytica in
March, has put Americans’ awareness of data privacy at an all-time high. These
factors have 60% percent of respondents believing that the U.S. government
should regulate how companies use consumer data, according to a study from
Sailthru, a personalized marketing automation technology provider.
More than half of respondents do not trust brands to keep their data safe.
“Personal data is not simply property to be acquired, sold and resold, but is
permanently and intimately connected with a person, so it must be treated
thoughtfully and respectfully,” said Neil Lustig CEO of Sailthru.

The real cost of 'freeturns' for retailers?
In today's hyper-competitive online environment, ecommerce directors face a
difficult choice when it comes to the thorny issue of online return
policies. Despite being hugely appealing to consumers, free returns can have
a catastrophic impact on retailers' margins. According to industry experts
Clear Returns, the cost of processing online returns in the UK alone
currently stands at 20bn pounds per year - an unsustainable figure, with very few
businesses able to absorb return costs with ease.
It's not just that the shipping, cleaning and restocking of items is an
incredibly time-consuming and costly process (it takes an average of six
weeks to get a returned item back to shop 'floor', according to Forbes), but
that items must also often be re-sold at a reduced price, due to being in
less than mint condition or simply because, by the time they are processed,
they could have become last-season's stock.
It's no surprise, then, that a recent survey of retailers conducted by Brightpearl found that
just over half (51%) agreed that their margins are
being 'strongly impacted' by returns.
Of course, retailers do have the option of charging for online returns. But
in doing so, they run the risk of alienating their customers, who may be
deterred from making a purchase in the first place (negatively impacting
conversion rates) and simply go to a more accommodating competitor instead.
Some 72% of online retailers are now concerned that the already significant
impact on their margins from returns could worsen if the
'try-before-you-buy' trend - the biggest proponent of which is Klarna, the
service launched in the UK by ASOS, which allows consumers to try on
clothing without paying until they decide to keep it - becomes the norm.
Retailers now face a decision on whether the benefits of offering free
returns, which include reduced basket abandonment, increased conversion rate
and higher customer satisfaction and loyalty, outweigh the sizeable costs.
Crucially, they also need to work out ways of reducing online return rates
in the long-term.

4 signs bots may be stealing your ad dollars
Over 75% of ad fraud comes from bots that live on residential computers,
allowing them to use real human IP addresses, copy their hosts' purchase and
browser history and even mimic their keyboard strokes and mouse movements.
In spite of these bots' best efforts to hide themselves, their activity
isn't completely undetectable. We know that certain behaviors and metrics
increase a campaign's vulnerability to fraud, so you should be extra wary of
a bot problem if any of the following four statements ring true:
1.) Your fraud rates stay the same
between October and January
2.) You use a lot of audience
extension sites
3.) You advertise a lot with video
4.) You're able to 'solve' fraud
problems without seeing your traffic decrease

Shootings, Threats & Deaths
Indianapolis, IN: Person accused in Dollar
General Homicide provides Alibi, police back to square one
When metro police released video of the robber suspected of shooting and killing
a store clerk, several anonymous tips came in giving them leads on the case. The
homicide occurred at the Dollar General Store on Emerson Way on Indianapolis'
east side. On Memorial Day weekend, still photos from surveillance video show
the suspect inside the store for about 30 minutes. Then while customers,
including children, were in the store, the robber reportedly shot and killed
Dollar General Assistant Manager Brian Eure. His mother and wife pleaded for the
public’s help during this interview with Eyewitness News shortly after his
murder. Detectives showed witnesses a photo lineup, the different witnesses
picked out the same man, naming 51-year-old Douglas Cobbs as the robber. But
Cobbs provided an airtight alibi proving he was on an airplane that was headed
to Las Vegas at the time of the murder.

Criticism and Feedback:
30/60/90 Framework,
Don't Rush to React, Make a Plan
Avoid the Seagull Effect: The 30/60/90 Framework
for Feedback
Asking for feedback on something you've worked on can be hit or miss. You might
get some great compliments and advice on how to make it better, or you could be
set up for the 'seagulling' effect: someone dive bombs you with comments when
you least need them, maybe even giving you a negative remark. Instead use this
method for feedback:
30/60/90 Framework
The Right Way to Respond to Negative Feedback
Feedback, as they say, is a gift, but you're not always going to receive one
with ribbons and pretty wrapping paper. Sometimes you'll get negative feedback,
but it can be just as valuable because it helps alert you to changes that need
to be made and improve your performance. Here's five actions to help you hear
critical feedback openly and calmly.

How to Take Constructive Criticism Well (And Why
Leaders Should Embrace It)

potential through feedback, even leaders can use feedback provided from their
team to take the whole organization to the next level. Here's how to handle
constructive criticism well.

Tip of the Day
Sponsored

|
Social media can be a fantastic platform for every company and executive, but it
can also be a nightmare. Mixing personal with professional oftentimes sends the
wrong messages and can absolutely destroy the image a professional needs to
maintain in the public arena. Maintaining boundaries and separating the two can
oftentimes be difficult to accomplish as corporate America searches for every
piece of information they can find on executives and companies. And regardless
of what anyone says, your professional image should always take precedence over
your personal image in the social media world.
Just a Thought,
Gus
