Workplace

Advance is committed to being an equal opportunities employer and is fully compliant with all employment legislation. We regularly monitor statistics to ensure continued equality of opportunity in key areas such as recruitment, training and promotion.

As an equal opportunities employer, Advance values the differences that a diverse workforce brings to our organisation, and as such we have adopted a diversity policy, which plays a fundamental part in our overall diversity strategy. This commitment to diversity within our organisation encourages us to proactively consider how differences in background, race, gender, religion, age and nationality benefit our business, as well as helping us to develop the individual and enhance the welfare and professional development of all our employees.

It is important to us to attract and retain the highest calibre of staff available and we do so by offering clear paths to career progression and comprehensive benefits. We offer training courses that are unrivalled throughout the security industry, such as Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) level 5 training for our operational management team, and personal development programmes available to all field based staff.  In addition we provide a comprehensive benefits package and a number of incentive schemes such as the Advance Reward Gateway which offers a cash back scheme as well as discounts in leading high street stores. For more information on the benefits and training offered at Advance Security please click here.

We are keen for our CSR policy to be inclusive of our entire workforce and we engage all employees to help to introduce new initiatives into our daily operations. We operate a quarterly CSR suggestion scheme whereby Advance employees are invited to make suggestions to help improve not only our impact on the environment, but also our commitment to the community, the workplace and the marketplace. 

We take time to listen to the needs and views of our staff. Through various communication channels, including regular team meetings, a staff satisfaction survey, company seminars and a free dedicated employee helpdesk we immediately address any issues that affect the morale and professional attitude of our most valuable asset – our workforce.
