What is a concierge security operative?

They are a familiar and friendly face in residential and commercial buildings across Australia – security personnel that combine their role with customer service and wider premises management abiities.

What are the responsibiltiies of a concierge security operative?

Security personnel often have a limited range of tasks to perform in aiding the day-to-day operations of commercial and residential premises. This has come from an outdated notion that all security operatives offer is muscle in case of emergency – but this simply isn’t the case.

Concierge security operatives blend safety assurance with customer service, offering guests peace of mind and an outlet for questions. These individuals are responsible for a range of tasks including:

  • Providing customer services to help fulfill building users’ requests.
  • Performing adminstrative duties such as logging entrances and exits from the premises and monitoring building maintenance teams, such as cleaners.
  • Using professionally developed interpersonal skills to keep residents informed about developments and to reduce the risk of security threats from arising.

Concierge security operatives offer security and customer services in reception spaces of commercial and residential buildings.

Depending on the facility, concierge security operatives can also offer other ad-hoc services such as chauffeuring, crowd control and premises management. These abilities are designed to address the idea of security services as an inconvenient expense, and to replace it with concierge security operatives as vital members of your operations. On top of these customer service functions, concierge security operatives also provide the services you’d expect from security personnel, such as:

  • Defusing viol
    ent or offensive situations that may develop in the facility.
  • Handling and safely removing dangerous individuals from the building to ensure the safety of guests or residents are not compromised.
  • Filing incident reports and liaising with police following on-premises altercations.

Commercial enterprises and residential properties often see physical security measures as a necessity, rather than an opportunity to add value to operations. Concierge security operatives represent an astute approach to security and customer service management – combining the two roles into one highly trained operatives means:

  • Businesses get the best of both worlds. They can rest assured that their patrons are protected from all manner of security threats while also receiving the friendly guidance and personable manner of an expert in people management.
