GE Security Pro Launches Security Is A Company Benefit Outreach Program
Share:
The GE network of Security Pro® Dealers has launched "Security Is A Company Benefit(TM)," a sales, marketing and brand ID campaign with the goal of increasing security in business and institutions by strengthening employer and employee commitment to security. At the heart of the campaign is the alliance between GE Security Pro and partnering companies dedicated to increasing security awareness in the workplace.
"Nine-eleven has taught us that although security technology is effective in saving lives and property, it's not the whole security story," said GE Security Pro Director Michael Benedict. "Security requires human intelligence--people working together, being vigilant and exchanging information--whether violence is terror related or personal in nature. We're partnering with businesses and institutions to help promote that message and bring about safer workplaces."
Employee education and support are a key part of the GE Security Pro campaign. For example, the Security Is A Company Benefit Web site at www.securityisacompanybenefit.com includes practical tips for employers and employees.
