Great workplaces deliver great security services. Here’s why.

 

If you’re selecting a security provider, you’re likely focused on factors such as capabilities, experience, and pricing. However, one critical — and often overlooked — factor is the workplace culture of the security company itself.  

There’s no surprise there. It can be a challenge to compare something as ephemeral as “company culture” on an apples-to-apples basis. 

The good news is that the culture comparison has already been made.  

GardaWorld Security stands out as the only national guarding security company in the United States to earn Great Place To Work® Certification™.  

This prestigious recognition is based on direct feedback from employees, with 81% of GardaWorld Security’s US workforce rating the company as a great place to work — 24 percentage points higher than the national average. 

A commitment to employee success 

Great Place To Work Certification represents much more than a badge of excellence.  

GardaWorld Security provides a wealth of opportunities for its employees, from flexible schedules and diverse assignments across industries to training and career advancement programs. This dedication to professional growth not only benefits employees but also enhances the overall quality of service clients receive. 

GardaWorld Security also prioritizes health and safety standards, accountability, and robust employee engagement practices, fostering a supportive and transparent workplace.  

These practices create a culture of integrity, trust, vigilance, and respect — core values that directly translate into superior client service. 

The connection between workplace culture and security excellence 

Research from Great Place To Work demonstrates that people are 15 times more likely to choose a company knowing it has been Certified by employees as a great workplace. Furthermore, Certified (aka high-trust) companies can boast about having better bosses, fairer paths to promotions, and higher employee engagement, with more employees reporting that they look forward to coming to work. As a result, Certified companies are also more successful at retaining, engaging, and fostering adaptability among employees than at the average workplace.

Ultimately, a security provider that prioritizes employee well-being and professional development offers measurable advantages to clients: 

• Consistency in service delivery
• Proactive risk mitigation
• Reduced turnover and staffing disruptions
• Stronger, more reliable client relationships 

So how does this translate into on-the-ground benefits for you? 

1. Service consistency: Engaged and motivated employees are more likely to deliver consistent, high-quality services. This minimizes disruptions and ensures that security protocols are followed diligently.
2. Risk mitigation: A satisfied and well-trained workforce proactively addresses potential risks. Disengaged or inexperienced guards are more likely to make errors, which can lead to increased incident rates. GardaWorld Security’s emphasis on training and employee well-being ensures a team ready to respond effectively to threats.
3. Employee retention: GardaWorld Security’s Great Place To Work status leads to higher retention rates. A stable workforce means clients benefit from experienced personnel who are familiar with their needs, reducing turnover-related disruptions.
4. Operational continuity: High retention also ensures fewer staffing gaps and less frequent changes in personnel, creating seamless and reliable service delivery.
5. Stronger client relationships: When employees feel valued and supported, their commitment extends to the clients they serve. GardaWorld Security’s focus on employee well-being translates to better partnerships with clients, building trust and reliability. 

By partnering with a company recognized as a great place to work, you gain access to a motivated and experienced team of professionals committed to delivering exceptional security solutions.  

The bottom line: companies that care for their employees care for their clients — making our people the best choice for safeguarding your assets, your workplace … and your people.
