Unexpected ways that security can improve your business

At Bollard Security, we believe the best way to mitigate the effects of potential crime against your business is to establish a secure perimeter protection set-up. It pays to be prepared, and protecting the safety your employees and your assets is obviously the number one reason for installing on-site security. However, there are a few additional benefits that features like parking bollards, barriers, and various other types of access equipment can offer your business that you might not initially expect.

Improve punctuality

We know how much of a challenge it can sometimes be to keep track of your staff’s punctuality. So, if you’re running a business that manages lots of employees, access control equipment like biometric security scanners can allow you to identify employees that are punctual, and those that may require a friendly word to get them into work a bit earlier. Alternatively, if biometric scanners aren’t a viable option for your business, then you could always consider installing a security barrier with keypad or intercom system. That way, you can be made aware in real time who’s arriving to work on time.

Manage traffic

This is another one of the lesser-known benefits of access control – the ability it affords you to manage traffic flow. Security bollards, gates, and barriers can help you to drastically increase the efficiency of your car park by allowing you to restrict and monitor who enters and exits your premises. You’ll also be able to provide your employees with a safe place to park their cars that deters thieves.

Peace of mind for your employees

Let’s be honest, your employees are far more likely to produce their best work if they feel they’re in a safe environment. It’s always reassuring for your staff to know that the building they work in is secure from potential threats posed by criminals. This is particularly true if any local areas have seen a recent spike in crime. Security bollards and barriers can be hugely reassuring to employees and cam improve the overall morale within your workplace.

Improve your public image

Security features and access control equipment can also help to improve your image with both clients who are visiting the premises, and the public. By implementing site security features like security bollards, barriers or gates, you can easily create a reception point for visitors to your premises, and demonstrate that their safety is something you take very seriously. Plus, it provides your business with an added layer of professional aesthetic, as it creates the impression that you have something worth protecting within your building.

These are just a few of the surprising benefits that additional security can offer your business. If you think you’re in need of a few additions but you’re not sure where to start, we can help.
