Careers & Employment
Security is a people-intensive and people-reliant business. The retention, vetting, motivation and management of that crucial human resource is the cornerstone
of our strategy. We believe that our people:
- Should
understand our commitment is them and theirs is to the company and customers
- Be
encouraged to maximise their personal potential
- Be dealt with fairly,
justly and without any discrimination at all times
- Receive rewards
and recognition commensurate with their contribution to the company and its customers
Role
Profiles and Competencies
Complementing our Equal Opportunities
policy, our approach to recruitment is to select against competence / skills required for a particular
role. To that end we utilise a wide range of objective assessment methods, which are adapted to specific role
requirements.
Employee Retention
We
have recognised employee stability as being a crucial indicator of job satisfaction and also a key requirement
of customers who want a stable customer security team on their premises. To that end we have a number of management practices that concentrate on emphasising to our employees
the value that we place on our workforce and thereby having a positive effect on employee retention.
Some of these are as follows:
- series
of welfare interviews
in addition to standard supervisory visits by our Welfare Officers
- Monthly
measurement of reasons for labour turnover from leaver questionnaires/interviews
- Corrective
action taken in relation to the outcome of the above information
- Formal
employee recognition systems
- Internal communication via local newsletters
and national internal ‘newspapers’
