You Make the Difference
Securitas is its people, and the people are Securitas
You as a person
We take ownership, feel passion, keep it simple, and walk the talk.
If Securitas were a person, with different parts of the body symbolizing different traits, the head would represent ownership. Within the framework of our values and strategy, we expect you to take ownership and act as if Securitas were your own business. Set aspirational goals for yourself and take accountability for achieving them.
The heart symbolizes our passion for the work we do. Our drive to help make the world a safer place shines through in how we work and the contribution we make to society.
The core represents our commitment to keep it simple. When you understand something really well, you keep it simple and find solutions – even when the task or challenge itself is complex. Finally, the legs symbolize how we stay firmly grounded, lead by example, and walk the talk.
These four traits define those who succeed within our business. When we break them down, we see that driving performance is about delivering on your daily tasks, which contribute to the company's broader goals.
Developing yourself and others is about making sure each of us are the best we can be, and making our strategy happen is about taking ownership and translating long-term ambitions into concrete actions and measurable results.
Driving performance
You demonstrate accountability and know your numbers. Delivering on the business plan is a core responsibility of every leader. Targets must be met, results must be delivered, and progress must be measured. We track, benchmark, and compare performance across leaders and teams so we can learn from the best performers and continually raise our standards.
By expecting excellence and going the extra mile, you make things happen. You build high-performing teams by understanding the value of diversity and recognizing exceptional talent.
By evaluating performance against aligned goals, you hold your team accountable. You take action to deliver real value to both clients and Securitas, setting and achieving targets that ensure both short-term performance and long-term value, delivering sustainable results.
Developing yourself and others
Start with yourself. That means being respectful – trusting your colleagues, being supportive and considerate, and listening to new and different ideas. You communicate well with your team, are transparent, and own up to your mistakes, which takes courage but earns growth and respect in return.
You empower your team by engaging with them and encouraging them. By being curious, helpful, and passionate, you lead by example and inspire others. You give and seek feedback regularly, continually coaching and supporting your team in their development. You also help your people broaden their horizons by encouraging them to explore new opportunities across the business, building multidimensional skills and experiences that strengthen both the individual and Securitas as a whole.
Making our strategy happen
Leaders are responsible for making our strategy happen, which requires ownership and execution. You take responsibility for delivering results, ensuring that strategic priorities translate into business plans, disciplined execution, and measurable outcomes.
You actively seek the voice of the client and draw inspiration from others to create new solutions and drive innovation. You encourage your team to be creative. With a healthy risk appetite, you pursue opportunities and foster a balanced, confident "fail fast, learn quickly" culture. You handle conflict constructively, collaborate across teams and business areas, and build alignment and support to bring out the full strength of Securitas. To tackle new challenges and achieve our shared goals, you value diverse perspectives – because you know there's real power in diversity of thought.
At Securitas, you're part of something meaningful. We're proud of the work we do and how we do it – together, with passion, care, integrity, and purpose. Each colleague plays an important role in helping to make the world a safer place for our clients and communities.
When you join our team, you bring your unique knowledge, experience, and perspective to help fulfill our shared purpose. In return, we offer you our People Promise – a commitment to ensure you feel valued, supported, and proud of the difference we make together. Our People Promise is built on three pillars that define life at Securitas: opportunity, people, and purpose. Opportunity means we believe in your potential and give you the tools and encouragement to grow. People reflects our culture of belonging and the inclusive environment we strive to create, where we can all become our best selves. Purpose reminds us why we're here and what's possible when we work together.
Living up to this promise requires creating the right conditions for everyone to thrive. We do this by committing to fair pay, safe working conditions, and equal opportunities for everyone. We also listen to what matters most to you, act on your feedback, and measure our progress to make sure we're always improving.
Working at Securitas is meaningful whether you're a long-time industry veteran or have just started your career. We believe developing our people and promoting from within strengthens our company and creates opportunities for individuals to grow. We encourage and support you to take initiative, keep learning, and become a vital part of a company that helps make the world a safer place.
