With the New Year approaching, now is the time to evaluate your business’s workplace security guard needs.

Reception Desk Check-In Duties. Security guards are often stationed at an office building’s main entry point. Guards monitor those entering the building and, when required, check in visitors, request identification, complete a security scan and alert employees that a visitor is on the way.

Parking Lot/Garage Security. Security guards keep parking lots and garages safe for employees and visitors. They travel on foot or in carts or autos, looking for unusual or unauthorized behavior. Guards help employees and visitors to their cars when asked, especially during off-hours or at night when personal safety is a concern.

Removing Employees From Premises. Terminating an employee is never easy. Another security guard service is to escort terminated employees from the site. It should not be the responsibility of an employee to perform this potentially uncomfortable or unsafe task.

Evacuation Lead. Security guards are trained to evacuate employees in the event of an emergency. The security guard company works with your company to discuss emergency scenarios and how employees can safely vacate the building.
