Assistant Manager: Global-Security Dept.
CurrentIn my role with this global corporation, I ensure a safe and secure environment for our personnel across multiple locations. One of my proudest achievements has been building a robust security team. I hired, trained, and developed 20 security officers and four junior managers while creating effective staffing plans and refining security policies and procedures for our Chicago headquarters, which boasts around 1,100 personnel. To enhance security department efficiency, I conducted a comprehensive review of existing programs and successfully eliminated outdated and wasteful policies and procedures. I've also authored a behavior book that outlines policies and procedures for identifying and mitigating risks, particularly in the case of armed employees.For continuous improvement, I've instituted a new training program and established daily huddles, monthly one-on-one sessions, and individual improvement plans, resulting in a marked enhancement in our security team's performance. In a bid to optimize our resources, I spearheaded an effort to reduce overtime costs and enhance officer engagement. This was achieved by identifying vendor waste and researching high-quality service providers at lower costs. Collaborating with the Chicago Police Department to develop active shooter drills and staff education involving CPD SWAT teams, the Chicago Fire Department, and the Office of Radiological Services further highlights our commitment to safety and security. I'm dedicated to facilitating a secure environment for all internal and external parties and ensuring our corporation's continued success.
