How Customers and Employees feel about Security Systems

Business and home owners alike are more likely to have some kind of security system in larger cities with higher numbers of people. Having a visible security system discourages criminal activity. Although criminal activity is not extremely high in any part of Idaho, Boise has a higher population and therefore a higher chance of theft or offense. System Tech is a Boise security system that is passionate about protecting your Boise business.

Customers

When you think of having a security system for your business, you probably did not consider how this affects the customer. For the most part, customers are pleased with businesses that have good security. This helps them feel more secure inside, outside and around the places of business that they frequent.

Inside

Customers spend the majority of their time at a business inside of its walls. While there are always a handful of the minority that disagree, most customers feel safer knowing that there is surveillance to keep a record of what goes on inside the business. The customers know that this deters criminals and leaves a video trail of evidence if anything were to occur. High quality security system also ensures quicker response times in the case of an emergency. There are businesses that are obvious candidates for inside surveillance, but the fact of the matter is that every business is a target for crime and you do not want customers feeling scared to visit.

Outside

It could be argued that the most dangerous time for customers is the time they spend outside of the business itself. There are not a bunch of employees around to see or hear an altercation. Don’t forget that one of the customer’s most expensive possessions, their car, is parked out in the parking lot. Security cameras accompanied with proper lighting help customers feel more secure visiting your business at all times of the day and night.

Employees

It can sometimes be a red flag when businesses have a high turnover rate. If you want to retain your employees, it is a good idea to regularly ask their opinions and their input to see how they feel about their workplace environment. Employees of all ages and from a wide variety of work areas value feeling safe at their workplace.

Inside

Your employees spend the majority of their time and maybe even their day to day life inside of your business building. It should be considered an investment in their wellbeing to have a safe environment for them to work in. This can include a lot of things such as how they are treated by customers, but physically, a security system can make employees feel comfortable at work.

That being said, it can also make employees feel uncomfortable with any lying or misconduct in the workplace. Having indoor security systems in your business discourages them from any type of misbehavior. This is an obvious benefit to the business directly. It could help you retain valuable employees, and help decrease dishonesty from your employees.

Outside

For very similar reasons as the customers, outside surveillance is beneficial to employees. Employees vehicles spend a substantial amount of time sitting outside of the business. They will probably be more comfortable and attentive to their work without having to worry about their vehicle or personal belongings inside their vehicles. If businesses are part of a large office building, there is often not a great visual on vehicles from where an employee is working. This can give you and your employees peace of mind.

Your employees are often the first ones in and the last ones out. If you do not have the staffing numbers for employees to come in together or leave together, it would be very wise to have an outdoor security system to help them feel safe when opening and closing for the day.
