How Physical Security Benefits from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) Initiatives
Overview
In physical security, differing perspectives can help strengthen incident response and risk management strategy. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives bring a multitude of benefits to an organization including the ability to make employees feel safe, respected, connected, more innovative, and give employees a sense of belonging, leading to greater retention. Security operations historically have been a relatively high turnover position within organizations, and companies are looking for ways to better attract talent and engage security teams. Implementing DEI initiatives are a way to boost hiring and recruiting strategies, and strengthen products and services.
