Securitas has been recognized by Newsweek with two workplace honors: America's Greatest Workplaces for Culture, Belonging & Community 2026 and America's Most Admired Workplaces 2027.
This recognition reflects our ongoing efforts to help create a workplace where individuals feel valued, supported, and provided opportunities for continued growth. Our culture is built every day by our employees through the way they help serve our clients and work together to help make a difference in the communities we serve.
"Being recognized as a great workplace is especially meaningful because our people are at the center of everything we do," says Chrissy Toskos, Chief People & Experience officer. "When we create a better experience for our employees, we're also building a stronger organization and putting our people in the best position to deliver for our clients."
Investing in the people behind security
The security industry is changing fast. Technology is increasingly shaping how teams operate; client expectations for security programs are shifting, and security professionals are being asked to bring new skills to their roles. Yet, through all this change, human expertise stays key for security excellence.
Securitas invests in the people who help make those programs succeed. They offer specialized security training, supervisor development, leadership coaching, education opportunities, and programs to help employees build skills throughout their careers.
This investment starts with the idea that a security career can take many directions. An officer might learn new skills, take on more responsibilities, or pursue opportunities beyond their current role. Managers can strengthen their leadership and prepare for what comes next in their own careers. With opportunities to learn, the knowledge they gain comes back to their teams and into the work for clients.
Creating opportunities to learn and grow
Securitas’ SecureU Education Benefit Program, powered by Guild, stands out as an example.
SecureU aims to make education more accessible to all employees, from frontline officers to administrative professionals. The program offers chances to build skills that can support career growth, while allowing employees the flexibility to pursue education while working.
For Securitas, that investment is about more than just an employee benefit. It reflects a belief that employees should have the opportunity to see a future within the organization and develop the skills that can help them get there.
Supporting the people who lead others
Employee development grows from the work itself. As security roles become more specialized, professionals need training that equips them for the industries, environments, and responsibilities they face every day.
Securitas continues to expand its specialized training opportunities, including programs for data centers, healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, financial services, and other sectors. Recently, Securitas also earned recognition as an ASIS Preferred CPE Provider, giving security professionals access to training for ongoing professional development.
This investment goes beyond job-specific skills. Employees need to adapt as technology changes security operations. Investing in people matters more than ever, as organizations reassess how education, career development, and human expertise fit into the evolving work landscape.
Raising the bar for the security industry
For Securitas, investing in employees ties directly to the quality of security it provides. Technology can broaden what security teams can achieve, but it's the people that still make decisions, engage with clients, respond to situations, and apply judgment to their work.
That’s why we continue to invest in training, education, and leadership development alongside new technology and capabilities. Specialized training gives security professionals the industry knowledge needed to help serve clients, while wider education and development opportunities help employees build careers that grow with the industry.
The Newsweek recognition reflects that commitment to the people behind Securitas. By giving employees opportunities to learn, develop, and build careers, Securitas is investing in the workforce that will help shape the future of security.
