COURSE DESCRIPTION: For all businesses, sales is the fundamental and most essential aspect of operations. Sales are conducted in a variety of ways. However, many businesses employ salespersons both at the business establishment itself as well as those that “hit the streets” throughout Trinidad and Tobago depending on the product being sold. This will include sale of both goods and services. Salespersons often use their private motor vehicle, company vehicle, public transport, walk, etc. to do such trade.

In Trinidad and Tobago in recent times, there has been an increase in the number of incidents in which salespersons have been attacked, robbed, assaulted and even killed while conducting their sales.

This life-saving course presents to participants the full range of security risks that salespersons face on a daily basis as they go about their daily routines. It also discusses some of the most contemporary ways in which salespersons are being targeted and attacked. The courses delves heavily into the multiplicity of DOs and DONTs that all salespersons should know and follow to protect first themselves and then the goods and services under their possession. Essentially, it tackles what to do before, during, and after a security threat or actual incident in conducting sales. The course demonstrates the wide range of personal as well as organizational interventions that can be adopted.

This course can assist salespersons from becoming a victim of crime by protecting person and property. Both employers and employees owe it to themselves to know what are the most effective ways to deal with attacks on salespersons. No amount of compensation can bring back your life or solve your injuries after the fact.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Too often, managers, supervisors and human resource personnel have to deal with the troubling issues of employee absenteeism and lateness. This not only negatively affects the performance of organizations, but also hampers the day-to-day operations and puts additional stress on others “to take up the slack.” Therefore, it is essential that efforts are made to truly understand the underlying causes of these problems, and of course, to address them. This course tackles such issues as it makes sterling recommendations to “nip it in the bud” also.

Notably, the course delves heavily into the range of effective strategies that can be adopted by the organization to reduce both employee absenteeism and lateness. But, more importantly, it presents tested approaches that will facilitate employees themselves achieving excellent work attendance and on-time levels – a feat that targets intrinsic motivational imperatives. 

All in all, the course targets both policy and operations dimensions to both these human resource challenges that impacts heavily on organizational efficiency and effectiveness.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: In the security and public safety industry, an integral function of supervisors and human resource personnel is the effective scheduling of manpower resources. For instance, officers are to be scheduled for various shifts, days and times of the week, placed in various clients’ locations probably across the country, allocated based on the type of security services required whether armed officer, baton officer, canine, etc. This can be a very challenging exercise and requires appropriate expertise to manage such operations and ensure that the clients’ needs are satisfied as well as contractual obligations are met. The task also requires emergency rescheduling operations, for example, when officers are absent from work, late to work, fall ill, is on vacation, leaves the job, etc.

Matching officers’ capabilities, workload as well as contract obligations is a key element in human resource matters for security and public safety institutions. This course tackles all of these issues and more from a professional standpoint by sharing key principles, strategies and readily implementable solutions. It will strengthen the human resource capacity of security and public safety companies in manpower scheduling matters. Effective scheduling of manpower often leads to improved employee morale, customer service, efficiency and continuity in business activities. Participants in this course will be exposed to strategies to realise such benefits for their organization.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The security industry is plagued with the problem of officers not staying with a particular company or even within the industry as a whole for any reasonable time. This can be disastrous to the company or industry for many reasons. It affects stability, continuity, and importantly, the bottom line – profit – as companies have to repeatedly source, train and retrain personnel. Companies may therefore become reluctant to invest in training for officers because they may suddenly depart. This does not auger well for the officer, company and industry.

Resultantly, there is the pressing need for the timely development and implementation of appropriate officer retention policies and strategies. This brings tremendous benefits to companies and the industry. This course tackles such matters head on. Case studies and other illustrations with technical human resource management recommendations targeted specifically to the security industry will be presented and discussed in class.
