Loss Prevention - Role Specific Guides

The ECRA Role Specific Guides (RSGs) to Shrinkage are documents designed to assist both retailer and supplier personnel in the development of their knowledge of the topics of Shrinkage and Loss Prevention – specifically as it relates to their functional role/job.

Shrinkage is a topic for which many people are stakeholders within their roles – whether they realise it or not! A person’s role may be impacted by shrinkage as a result of their actions or the actions of others. Similarly, people may make decisions in their own roles that contribute to shrinkage impacts on other people’s roles.

ECRA Role Specific Guides (RSGs) to Shrinkage have two principal pages.

1. The first/front page has sections describing the impact of shrinkage on a particular job role, what actions a person in that role might take to assist in loss prevention and indications of flow on effects through the value chain of decisions made (good and poor) in terms of shrinkage.
   
   
2. The second/back page serves as a template for action planning and might be used as part of training and development or in annual goal setting. Several RSGs have been developed for roles more commonly found across businesses and can be accessed by clicking on the link of the chosen role.

• Additionally, a blank template has been provided for users to develop their own RSG for roles not already provided or where provided RSGs do not sufficiently match responsibilities, and is available here.
