2020 has presented many challenges, from health concerns and financial hardships to personal safety and asset protection. In uncertain times, particularly when feeling overwhelmed by numerous circumstances, the best thing to prevent fear and anxiety from settling in is to have a plan. For your company, this could be an emergency action and business continuity document. For your home and family, this can be ensuring a fire escape and medical emergency contingency. For your hea...lth, this might be having the appropriate materials to sanitize when traveling for essential activities. In the security industry, we prepare by being proactive. Having a strategy to address likely and unlikely scenarios creates a barrier between the adverse event and the level of consequence should it occur. Mitigating the risk to your business or your home is the same. As we enter this week, we encourage everyone to have a plan, and please reach out if you have any additional concerns or questions. Xiphos is always here to help. #xiphos #xiphoscorp #security #safety

Some great insight from Steven Antoine, chief security officer for Yum! Brands. "The pandemic has surfaced hidden financial costs from crisis events, amplified by the recent wildfires, hurricanes, political discord, and civil unrest. It is providing a catalyst to "what if" conversations that companies may have previously not seen much use for, and which are squarely in the wheelhouse of security and resilience leaders." https://losspreventionmedia.com/asset-protection-teams-hav/

*Employee Spotlight* It is with our distinct pleasure that we introduce LaPrincess Deans in this month's employee spotlight. LaPrincess began her career in the private security industry more than four years ago, starting with Securitas and winning multiple prestigious awards for service. She joined Xiphos in November of 2019, and with the mantra, "relentless pursuit of perfection through hard work," has become one of Xiphos' best protection agents. LaPrincess has a penchant f...or organization, unabashedly shoulders leadership, and excels in communication.

Today we are taking a moment to introduce to our network a vital person within the Xiphos organization: Richard Simonian. Richard, pictured in the middle with Aaron & Glenn, is a self-made man that assists in all facets of our company, ensuring our rapid growth is seamlessly supported financially and through his decades of experience. As a shareholder and board member, Richard sets the gold standard in business mentorship and investment. To say Richard is a unique human being does not do him justice. He was one of the original Special Forces Green Berets whose military and life achievements are as impressive as they are diverse. As former Green Berets, these three individuals share a unique bond that permeates Xiphos' culture with a rapport and trust rarely seen in other organizations. #xiphos #security #veteran #greenberet #leadership

*September Spotlight* Brandon Saul joined the National Guard in 2013, where he served as an infantryman and deployed to Qatar before joining Xiphos in 2019. His work ethic and experience put him on a quick path to a management role within the company. As a leader, his approach begins by getting to know his guards and applying their strengths to their duties. While he demands the highest industry standards from his team, he enjoys working alongside them and guarantees never to... give them work that he is unable or unwilling to do himself. As a firearms enthusiast, Brandon’s hobby has given him the tools to help train our team on Range Days as the Assistant Range Instructor and become an integral part of our New Hire Program. Brandon’s drive and determination for excellence encompass what we seek in our leaders, and we are thankful to have him on our team. #xiphos #xiphoscorp #security #leadership #excellence

PPE in the armed security industry is not just ballistic vests and holstered weapons our operators' health is of the utmost importance. That's why we have been working to distribute these masks to Xiphos employees who are being affected by the severe wildfires in the Northern California region. Please stay safe out there, folks. #staysafe #xiphos #xiphoscorp #security #armed #ppe #CAwildfires #CZULightningComplexFire

Guillermo Vazquez is a security professional that has been in the industry for two years. He joined Xiphos in September of 2019 and has proven to be a model employee time after time. His superior communication skills and friendly demeanor contribute to his ability to provide the best customer service to clients and lead his team by example. To say that Guillermo is a team player would be an understatement. He willingly accepted a position within the company that would require... his commute to be longer. He wanted to allow his colleagues with families to have shorter commutes and spend more time at home. Always empowering his team through trust and respect, Guillermo’s leadership style cultivates an environment that allows for growth. He often encourages his guards to speak up, take on more responsibility, and set and achieve personal goals through hard work and determination. Guillermo continues to go above and beyond for his clients and colleagues alike. We look forward to seeing his continued success at Xiphos. #xiphos #xiphoscorp #security #securityguard #leadership #excellence

In February, we received the exciting news that not only would Xiphos be exhibiting at the ASIS-sponsored Global Security Event GSX this year, but that we would be providing an education seminar speaking on security topics that address some of the most critical issues our industry faces. Previously scheduled to take place 21-23 September in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, the ASIS leadership team has decided to transition GSX to GSX+, a virtual-only environment for 2020. This will no...w offer a global audience a chance to connect, educate, and network through live and on-demand features from 21-25 September, and it will allow us the opportunity to provide our knowledge and expertise to an even broader audience. Our presentation, "Guarding the New Green: Security Lessons for Cannabis Companies in Emerging Markets, will be available for viewing during the event (day and time are still to be determined). We are beyond excited to share with you what we have been working on and are looking forward to (virtually) see you all there! #xiphos #xiphoscorp #cannabissecurity #security #globalsecurityevent https://www.gsx.org/about/
