According to a recent report, American businesses saw physical security incidents increase by almost 30% between 2021 and 2022. They’re also expecting to see a similar increase in physical security incidents between 2022 and 2023.
But despite this, an alarming number of businesses in this country haven’t done enough to beef up their building security. As a result, it wouldn’t be surprising at all to see workplace security issues continue to plague many companies.
Would you like to increase the physical security you’re able to provide for your employees? You can do it by setting them up with security access cards they can use to get in and out of your building.
Here are several ways in which these access cards will help to keep your employees safer from now on.
Restricts Access to Your Building
As a business owner, you should have some say over who is allowed to come into your company’s building at any given time. Security access cards will provide you with the power to take control of who is able to get into your building each day.
You can pass out access cards to all your employees so they’re able to get in and out of your building with ease. This will, at the same time, limit the access others will have to your building and make physical security more of a priority for your company.
Monitors Those Entering and Exiting Your Building
In the event that you ever run into any physical security issues in your building, it’ll help to know who was coming in and out of the building at the time these issues occurred. This is yet another way in which you’ll benefit from providing your employees with access cards.
Your IT managers will be able to provide you with a list of all those who entered or exited your building at a particular time. It’ll help you get to the bottom of physical security issues and paint a clearer picture of what caused them.
Provides Peace of Mind
At the end of the day, the physical security of your building is important. But you don’t want to spend all day and night thinking about it. It’ll stress you out beyond belief as a business owner.
Installing an access control system will provide you with peace of mind. You’ll sleep so much better at night knowing that only your employees with card access will be able to get into your building.
Increase Your Building’s Physical Security With Access Cards
Do you want your business to be the next company that has to deal with a physical security incident? Of course not. It’s why you should hand out security access cards to your employees and ask them all to start using them.
As you’ve seen here, these access cards will benefit your business in so many ways. Communications Solutions, Inc. can tell you more about how these access cards work and help you install a system for them.
