Downing & Downing New York City Dinner January 14, 2013

On Jan 14th in NYC over 100 Loss Prevention leaders gathered to honor Joe LaRocca for his tremendous achievements while he was the Vice President of Loss Prevention for the National Retail Federation. As the first true retail
Loss Prevention executive ever to occupy that position, he pioneered game changing initiatives that helped
evolve the industry on a national level. His subject matter expertise and true desire to make a difference
played an instrumental role in creating and developing the numerous and successful Organized Retail Crime
initiatives throughout the entire United States.

Shot right before the evenings event and airing this spring on LPNN's season 2, this session reviews and
looks at Harvard Business School Professor, Tatiana Sandino's study "Can Wages Buy Honesty? The Relationship Between Realtive Wages and Employee Theft". In this session we explored how her formula can be applied
in any retail model and used to determine how wage increases can indeed impact theft activity in a store.
And while it isn't the absolute answer to theft it is in fact a variable that also impacts turnover, store moral, productivity, and the overall social norms in any given store.
