Frontline for Security Staff
Security staff are often the first face a visitor sees, and that impression rarely gets a second chance.
About the course
Adapted from the Frontline Reception I course, this 1-day Staff Training workshop, ideal for security staff at corporate offices, retail centres and residential estates across South Africa, covers the 7 Cs of effective communication, the etiquette of meeting, greeting and telephonic liaison, and the gap between good enough and best. The result: security personnel who see themselves as ambassadors, not just gatekeepers.
