Industry

We want to take responsibility for the development of the security industry. An important part of this development is to raise standards and wages within the industry in order to secure access to qualified and well-trained staff.

By influencing and cooperating with customer organizations, trade organizations, unions, public authorities and police, we change the conditions for the industry and create opportunities for new services and markets.

By driving this development, Securitas maintains its competitive strength and long-term profitability, while at the same time advancing the profession through training and higher wages and creating good job and career opportunities in an industry long known for temporary, untrained labor and low wages.

Raising Competence and Wages

Thanks to Securitas’ initiatives, we are now seeing a trend in which training is raising the competence of employees. This creates more qualified services with higher quality and better prices. This in turn is providing a foundation for better wages and further training, so that fewer employees can perform more services, enhanced by sophisticated technology. Employee turnover is reduced and more employees feel that their jobs offer development potential, career opportunities and wages they can live on.

An Attractive Employer

Human resource management and employee development play a prominent role in Securitas’ operations. The relationship with employees must be based on mutual respect.

The Group achieves its financial objectives by being an attractive employer that offers good working conditions, fair wages and suitable training. The basic principle on setting wages is to raise them to a level that meets or exceeds what is considered “enough to live on” in an industry long seen as not suitable for long-term professional ambition.
