3 Tips For Making Sure You Get The Security You Need
If you contract out your security guard services, from a company like S&S Security Services, for your business, you can improve your relationships with your security guard service by implementing the three tips below.
Interview & Verify Your Security Guards
In order to improve your relationship with your security guard service company, it is important that you make sure that the guards that are assigned to work at your business are a good fit for your company and work environment.
Even though the security company you hired should have vetted all of their guards before giving them assignments, work with your security guard company and see if you can independently interview and choose which guards are right for you. Set up interviews with all the security guards assigned to your company and make sure that you are comfortable with all the guards the security company wants to send you. Additionally, make sure that you follow up and verify that any guard placed at your business have the right training in place to protect your business and meet any training requirements your state requires.
Perform Random Spot Inspections
Once your guards are in place, perform random spot checks to ensure that everything is running as you want it to. Stop by and check out your business unannounced and at different hours and times of days.
If you don't feel comfortable doing random spot inspections, considering hiring a third party security consultant to inspect the security of your business.
Meet With The Security Company On A Regular Basis
Next, make sure that you engage in open communication with the security company that you are contracting your guards through. The meetings can be formal or informal, the important part is that you communicate with the company you are contracting through at least once a month.
During these meetings, let them know how their security guards are working out for you. Provide them with information about the things their guards are doing that work well for your business, and the things they are doing that are not working well for you. Other topics that can be discussed during these meetings are feedback from remote supervisory systems, results of security audits and guard attrition.
Meeting regularly with your security contractor will provide you with lots of incremental opportunities to work together and improve the services you are receiving.
By implementing the three tips above, you should be able to ensure that your business gets the security and protection that it needs.
