You could implement surveillance technology such as cameras to make sure that all employees are accounted for, or install security systems with alarms that sound when there's any unauthorised movement. You can also enforce a strict policy of monitoring every transaction and taking disciplinary action whenever there's suspicion of theft. Finally, you should make sure your employees are well-informed on company policy and its zero tolerance stance on employee theft.

In order to deter employee theft, you can implement a zero-tolerance policy; hold periodic staff meetings to discuss the issue and its consequences; provide staff with job clarity and opportunities for growth; encourage employees to report any suspected incidents of stealing confidentially; conduct random checks or investigations into suspicious transactions, use surveillance systems, track inventory levels and secure areas with locks or alarms where appropriate; ensure that security measures for personnel is consistent whether they're employed full-time or on a contractual basis. Additionally, you could consider implementing monetary rewards for employees who do not steal as well as disciplinary action for those who do. Lastly, it’s important to maintain an open line of communication with your team about potential violations so that any issues can be quickly addressed.
