Reading time: 2 minutes

Construction companies, healthcare institutions, office buildings, hotels, shops: whichever organization or institution you are responsible for, you want your staff, your customers and your property to be safe. Hiring a security guard is a good solution for this. There are of course costs associated with hiring a security guard. However, hiring a security guard is not an expense, but an investment. You can read how that is here. 

Security reduces the cost of theft and damage

Hiring a security guard can save your company, institution or organization a lot of costs. For example, do you work in construction? Then hiring a security guard ensures that you do not lose any costs for damage and vandalism. Do you work in a shop? Even then, hiring a security guard is a smart investment. A security guard prevents shoplifting; this can save you as a retailer a lot of costs. You can read more about store security here.

More productivity through focus on work

Good security not only saves costs by preventing damage and theft, it also saves money. Good security ensures better and safer working conditions. This ensures more productivity, because your staff does not have to worry about safety and can focus on the job. This is the case, for example, with office security, but certainly also in healthcare. 

Security prevents costs due to absenteeism 

Unfortunately, we are seeing more aggression among visitors in various places due to the measures against the spread of COVID-19. Think, for example, of shop visitors who do not want to wear a face mask, or who become aggressive when you point out the need to keep their distance. 

 

We also see this annoying trend in various healthcare institutions. Some of the healthcare staff are even confronted with physical violence. These stressful situations can lead to more absenteeism among staff. The use of security can offer a solution here. Security guards are trained to soothe discussions and prevent physical violence. 

Security prevents costs for fines  

Do you run a store? Then you have to set up and comply with a door policy because of corona. You can only allow a maximum number of people in the store and your visitors must be able to guarantee the one and a half meter rule at all times. There are high fines for retailers for non-compliance with the rules. In the worst case, your store could even be closed. 

 

However, complying with these rules is not always easy for the existing staff, especially when visitors become aggressive because not everyone agrees with the rules. Hiring a security guard also offers a solution in this situation.
