WORKPLACE TRAINING
Creating A Security Culture
Employees are a security resource. This means that at the end of the day all employees are members of the security department. This small shift in perception makes a world of difference when it comes to reducing incidents and creating a safer workplace environment. If reporting an incident is always someone else’s responsibility, there’s a good chance many security threats will slip through the cracks unnoticed. Because people go about their days assuming that someone else will take care of it. With a healthy security culture ingrained into the foundation of a company’s value system, you will be able to nip problems in the bud and not be blindsided by an easily avoidable crisis. Now, we’re not saying we expect your employees to tackle anyone—but with Security Awareness Training, your employees will have a wealth of nonviolent and effective resources to draw from.
Observe And Report
Observe and report has been the cornerstone methodology of security for centuries. While this seems like a pretty straightforward concept, a person well trained in observation can spot any activity which would be deemed suspicious or illegal. With our training, we show your staff how to properly observe their surroundings. Once something has been observed, the correct people must be notified of a problem that has been witnessed. Not only that, but do it within the protocols required for reporting an incident. There’s no such thing as overreporting.
There are many times after a security incident has occurred where someone has mentioned that they had seen something suspicious earlier in the day but only mentioned it after the fact. What a difference it would have made if they had only said something before the incident ever happened. Or let’s say, the day shift at an organization has a problem with a disgruntled client or customer and has to turn them away, but they don’t tell the night shift about it. The night shift is now potentially walking into a dangerous situation completely blind. These are just a few of the ways having an entire staff trained in ‘Observe and Report’ also known as ‘If You See Something, Say Something®’ protocol can make your organization a more secure and safe place.
