What factors do a residential community, complex or building need to weigh when deciding which security provider to hire? When selecting a security partner, keep the following five best practice considerations in mind:

If a crisis occurs on your property or in your facility, who will be the first person on the scene? In many situations, the security officer often serves in this “go-to” role.

Airports go through some level of construction every year and whether an airport is engaging in normal maintenance or undergoing a massive renovation, ensuring the security of the airport and its employees, contractors and visitors is of paramount importance. 
 

Facility managers seeking practical economic decisions for their buildings are well served to reach out to all of their vendor partners, including their contract security provider, to find creative solutions.

An increasing business trend is an expanded focus on personnel. This includes the recruitment, training and engagement of the individuals who are assigned to help create and maintain safer and more secure environments.

Employee healthcare benefits are at the center of many business decisions today. Will employees be offered benefits?  If so, what benefit options will be available to them? And how do these decisions impact your business in terms of cost and employee engagement?
 

Consolidating business under one service provider can drastically improve the value of any operation. The single point of contact, streamlined and consistent procedures, cost savings and best practices are among the benefits.
 

Considering the many challenges of starting up a corporate EP program, it’s no wonder that some are more successful than others.

People are the foundation of the security industry. The ability to relate and empathize is—without question—what makes a security officer effective.

While every industry, business and workplace is unique, there is one critical area where every business leader, without question, needs to focus this year. We are all united in the need for emergency preparedness.
