There are a number of steps you can take to prevent employee theft without resorting to secret cameras. 

First, create an atmosphere of trust and open communication with employees. Emphasize the importance of honesty and integrity, particularly when it comes to dealing with company property.

Secondly, establish clear policies on what is and isn't allowed in terms of removing or accessing company resources. Make sure these policies are communicated clearly in writing or verbally to all employees.

Thirdly, institute an employee tracking system for hours worked and items taken from inventory. This can be done manually or through software program.

Fourthly, require employees to have a valid reason when removing anything from the premises. Make sure this reason is confirmed by a supervisor before allowing any access.

Fifthly, periodically audit company inventory records compared against expected usage over that period - any discrepancies should prompt an investigation.

Finally, as a safeguard against any malpractice in the organization having secret cameras has its merits- but may not always be feasible especially if there are privacy risks involved. Regular communication with staff about proper procedures while employing transparency will likely go a long way towards preventing employee theft without needing secret surveillance.

You could implement a zero-tolerance policy and train your employees to recognize situations where they might be tempted to steal, as well as the consequences of such behaviour. Additionally, regular performance evaluations, along with random checks of inventories and procedures, can help ensure that there is accountability among employees. Having clear-cut rules of behaviour expected of employees can also reduce the chance of stealing from occurring in the first place.
