Each training module relates to IKEA policies and procedures making the training unique to the brand. The service provided by Kingdom also includes an "in partnership" uniform to reflect the IKEA work environment.

Mark Wallace (Senior Operating Executive) for Kingdom Security commented: “This is a fantastic win. When tendering for this prestigious retail security contract we found a clear synergy between our commitment to our staff and that of IKEA and then designed many initiatives to support and develop store security teams.

HSE statistics show increase in work based violence - Empower your staff!

The Health and Safety Executive recorded a 12% increase in abuse and assault of workers by the general public in their British Crime Survey for 2009. The report shows over 176,000 workers in England and Wales were threatened with physical violence whilst at work and 168,000 were physically assaulted over the same period.

Trends no longer suggest it is it a certain industry sector that suffers exclusively. The recession has undoubtedly been a key reason for the rise in physical assaults. Greater levels of stress and a rise in activities such as shoplifting have led to an increase in violence against workers.

Empower your staff through tailored conflict management training:

One thing is clear; you cannot prevent conflict situations arising; however all employers have a duty of care towards their staff in line with the role they are expected to carry out.

Kingdom provide standard, bespoke, and refresher Conflict Management Training courses. These empower a workforce to deal with conflict situations better so a more positive outcome can be reached where possible. This will potentially save an organisation considerable sums of money from reducing low productivity caused by stress, the cost of recruitment & staff-churn, sick-pay - it's also worth considering that the HSE estimate a single physical assault to cost a business in excess of £20,000.

Inside Kingdom - A fit and proper security provider - its official!

On 1/6/2010 Kingdom Security underwent their 4th SIA (Security Industry Authority), ACS (Approved Contractor Status) audit.

The inspection is over 4 days and includes a Head Office inspection plus unannounced visits to customer and security staff in the field.

Kingdom received an excellent report and extracts include:-

As well as the key financial and service indicators the company measures itself against, Kingdom Security Limited have increased their score by 54.9% over the past 12 months.

There are no areas where Kingdom Security Limited falls below the Required Achievement Level necessary to meet the ACS standard

Goals, objectives and targets have been identified at all levels of the organisation.

The company’s management and supervision work very closely with the staff on the sites. A quotation offered during the assessment included: “They are a very good company to work for”

All clients interviewed expressed a very high satisfaction with the services provided. A comments from a client included: “Responsive and professional”

The level of training conducted on the sites visited during the assessment was very good

A clear “fit and proper” management structure is in place

We anticipate the Company will be in the top 20 companies within the industry by the end of 2011

The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is the organisation responsible for regulating the private security industry.

The Approved Contractor Scheme was introduced to form a set of operational and performance standards for companies. The ACS Standard encompasses all aspects of our business operations and the standard takes a holistic view of how well an organisation is managed, how effectively it services its customers, and how well it treats its employees.

Inside Kingdom - New Corrective Action Unit (CAU) goes live!

 

Dissatisfied customers constitute a business risk so at Kingdom we take the word service extremely seriously.

Our recent acquisition and organic growth has seen the formation of a dedicated Corrective Action Unit (CAU).

Our complaints procedure is an integral part of our quality programme so our CAU team record, analyze, communicate and respond to all service related matters and manage any issues OUT! via a strong administrational and response team.

All customer service notes are centrally recorded on our internal Roster Manager IT system (disciplinary, commendations, matters for action, meeting notes and complaints) and the department interactive white board transparently shows the flow of the item until conclusion.

Any complaints we receive are broken down into 4 sections: -

  1. Administration handling
  2. Reaction
  3. Closure
  4. Preventative measures
