Corporate Security: 10-Point Retention Plan for CSOs, is published by SI Placement and The Clarity Factory, co-authored by Kathy Lavinder and Rachel Briggs. It is the third in a series of insights, which draws on interviews with CSOs and a global survey of corporate security practitioners.
This paper identifies five trends impacting talent and retention for corporate security functions, and includes new data on these workforce trends:
- The corporate security workforce is getting younger. There is, therefore, a greater need for structured professional development opportunities that enable development at a pace attractive to the best and brightest talent.
- The corporate security workforce is becoming more diverse. This necessitates open and inclusive management and leadership to optimize performance and retain diverse talent.
- Employees continue to show a strong preference for flexible work arrangements. Corporate security functions that do not offer flexibility will struggle to retain high performers.
- Multiple generations in most workplaces come with different expectations. Managers and leaders will need to adjust and adapt their approaches to retain the best talent at all career stages.
- There is a greater emphasis on mental health, which comes with an expectation that employers will provide appropriate support for employee wellbeing.
It sets out a 10-point retention plan for CSOs, providing practical steps you can take immediately to improve retention and satisfaction among your team.
