Knowledge is power, as they say, and that applies to the security industry as well. Some of the most formidable challenges for security company owners and operators appear to be soliciting and maintaining contracts, hiring and paying officers and sustaining profit margins.
A recent report, Benchmarking Security Guard Pay and Bill Rates: A Report for the Security Guard Industry, sponsored by TrackforceValiant and Silvertrac, seeks to provide vital information to security companies to assist them in meeting and exceeding those challenges.
Here is a snippet from the report:
A unique factor to the security guard industry is the intricate relationship between officer pay and the amount security firm owners can bill their clients. Knowing how to balance officer pay and client billing is essential if security firms want to remain competitive in the market - and if firms want to know just how much to invest in their business’ future.
