G4S: Shielding Industries With Simple Yet Apt Private Security Solutions

NEW DELHI, October 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Indian private security industry has been growing at 18 percent between FY 2012-15 proposing a huge potential for the industry to grow. The current security breaches, threats and attacks are the main causes for the industry to thrive. However, amongst the increasing demand, 65 percent of the industry still remains unorganised, while less than a quarter has got into the organised phase. Statutory compliances, investment in training and use of best-in-class global technology still poses a big challenge in the Indian security context. Comprehending this risk with its bouquet of specialised numero uno security services is G4S, which is recognised as world's leading integrated security company.

The Key Quandary 

One of the major challenging aspects of working as a security personnel is managing the work pressure and stress that they usually undergo. There is also a steep increase in the rate of security personnel committing suicide or murdering their counterpart and the root cause again takes you back to the pressure factors. To strike out this risk, G4S is more focused on the safety and well-being of its manpower. G4S has provided a strong grievance redressal system and has proactively launched a WISH Centre (Welfare Integrated System Helpline). Stood firmly on three C mantra - Care, Concern and Compassion, the WISH centre provides a platform to employees for voicing their concerns and grievances and facilitating faster resolution of grievances, thus ensuring job satisfaction through employee welfare.

"With a massive manpower of 657,000 employees worldwide, it becomes very important for our organisation to develop a work culture, which is in tune with our employee needs and allows them to put their best foot forward. There is a 'G4S Way' of doing business which is deeply ingrained in all of us," says Ashok Bajpai, Managing Director, G4S Corporate Services. Backed by integrity and simple yet solid work ethics, the company empowers employees by bestowing them with world-class training and technology. The internal values and robust policies' 360° approach, train and develop a qualified novice into best industry experts.  

The Other Side of the Coin

G4S not only sheds its light on its customers by giving them a world-class security, but also considers giving back to the society as its key responsibility. With a constant drive to contribute towards empowering society, G4S has joined hands with several NGOs to give life to many initiatives. It has associated with NGOs such as Cansupport, DCWA, Navjoti India Foundation and has been benefitting them largely with its helping hand. G4S' initiatives focus on child welfare, supporting sports, renovation of historically significant sites, senior citizens and environment, sponsoring for their each and every need.

With security challenges significantly speeding up, G4S believes that integrating security guarding with electronic systems is the way forward. It also accepts that the concept of using advanced technologies like robots and drones for security purposes is also not far from reality in India. With this, the company is buoyant that it will continue to invest in these ideas that do not only aim at augmenting its business, but also help people amplify their business. "While we are having an excellent organic growth, an acquisition aimed at an inorganic thrust cannot be ruled out either," concludes Ashok Bajpai.
