SECURITY AT THE CORE
Wisdom is registered with Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA). As a registered security services provider, Wisdom Group will always ensure there is minimal risk and loss prevention control. Security is at the core of our business endeavours. However our services are not solely limited to security. The company was formed in 2010 as a specialised security service provider within the healthcare sector and thus has progressed in offering a basket of different supplementary services. Wisdom has the largest market-share when it comes to specialised healthcare security services.
Our healthcare client portfolio is evidence of this representation.
In 2014 Wisdom Inhlakanipho Group (Pty) Ltd. was launched in order to provide a variety of facility management services. The move from Wisdom security to Wisdom Group has only allowed the organisation to grow from strength to strength. This has resulted in us creating additional employment in other labour concentrated industries. Our footmark is in all major metropolitans, across R.S.A including far reaching areas within, NorthWest Province, Northern Cape, Western Cape and Mpumalanga.
• Wisdom staff are trained to be frontline representatives and to be able to deal with the “human element” – thus being courteous towards its clients.
• Stringent selection measures used, e.g., running background checks on individuals to ascertain whether or not they were previously convicted of any criminal activities. Only suitable candidates are shortlisted.
• Potential candidates are vetted to ensure they meet specific requirements. This is done to ensure quality candidates are recruited and also to curb the security risk.
• Staff undergo several orientation, training and development programs to ensure they are always at their best.
