Background
The private security industry employs thousands of staff who protect our shops, steward at venues, and provide mobile patrols and a host of other supporting activities. Our client, the owner of one of these businesses, had worked for many years to build his business and its reputation. He had obtained all of the necessary registrations and qualifications, which meant his business was now considered a serious player in the market.
The Challenge
During one of the company reviews, it was decided to target high-worth individual clients. Knowing that the industry was always fighting an image whereby if any item went missing, the first suspect was the security officer, they included in their staff employment risk assessment the need to be polygraphed.
Outcome
The client has engaged us to conduct further tests as his business grows.
A person can work long and hard to build a good reputation, but one bad employee can take seconds to destroy it.
Reputation is everything in the private security industry. By integrating polygraph testing into recruitment and risk assessments, this client ensured honesty, accountability, and trust within his team.
The proactive approach not only safeguarded the company’s image but also reassured high-value clients that integrity remains at the heart of their service. It proves that when it comes to protecting reputations, prevention is far more powerful than damage control.
