Unarmed Security Guards: You’ve invested a lot of time and energy to successfully manage your business. Your accounting department has top-notch employees overseeing the financial aspects of the business, your sales people are knocking on doors, and your support staff are excellent employees. The production team and plant people are hard workers. Sounds like your business should be thriving, but why is your bottom line decreasing?
Companies like yours may be making serious and costly security mistakes by not working with an unarmed security guard service including:
1: Believing Your Employees Won’t Steal from You
You may not know your employees as well as you think you do. According to employee theft statistics, 75% of employees have stolen from their employer at least once.1 Expensive laptops, construction materials, and merchandise may be too tempting for some employees. You’re leaving your company open to theft by not hiring unarmed security officers from a top-notch security guard service. At National Security Service (NSS), our security guards watch your premises and are a visible deterrent to would-be thieves.
2: Thinking Your Workplace is Safe
You may believe that because your building’s location is in a low crime area or you’re familiar with most of the people that come into your business that you and your employees are moderately safe. No matter how safe you think your workplace is, there are no guarantees that you or your business will never be a target for criminals. You could reduce the risk of harm by hiring unarmed guards to work on the premises. As one of the best security guard companies in the U.S., our Unarmed Security Guards at NSS are well-trained to look for danger and react quickly to help prevent potentially harmful situations.
3: Neglecting to Include Security While Strategic Planning
Providing proper security measures for your business is often overlooked during strategic planning. Cost is always a factor when planning any business expenditure, but by not hiring unarmed security guards you may be costing your company more money. According to the 2016 National Retail Security Survey (NRSS), shoplifting accounted for 39% of the reported loss of inventory (shrink) in 2015.2 Replacing stolen merchandise and equipment, legal and insurance costs, and lost productivity could be exorbitant compared to the cost of hiring guards. At NSS, we can help assess and accommodate your security needs.
Can your company afford to ignore the consequences of not hiring unarmed security guards? Be smart. Plan for your security needs. Call National Security Service today or visit us at www.guardstogo.com
