Leaders & Innovators Series: Workplace Security
Having an emergency situation at the office is probably one of those topics that you don’t want to think about. To be honest, I don’t like thinking about it either. But it’s a thing in the light of recent events in the news.
However, the fact that 80% of offices have no emergancy protocol set up at all is terrifying.
