Recently, my company has needed to hire several people for in house loss prevention work. The problem is the pay. Even for experience, the company I work for offers very low pay for very high expectations (there is a quota etc).
I recently called around to all the major department and big box stores loss prevention departments and asked about the pay for experienced and non experienced loss prevention personnel. All of these operations are in house and pay 30-35% more starting pay than we do, (for both experience and non exp) and offer bonuses and ok benefit packages.
We are losing staff due to many members jumping ship to competitors who will pay several dollars more an hour than we do, with less responsibility.
I have also checked with local stores (non Loss Prevention jobs) and found that they pay 5-10% more than we do for starting wages.
I am thinking about drafting a proposal to the district management laying out these points. I have no personal stake in the matter because I am salary, but the people that work the stores are grumbling and jumping ship.
Any ideas as to what I should say, not say and/or how I should go about drafting this proposal and presenting it to management?
