Strikes and Labour Disputes Management Services

When a strike or labour dispute disrupts your operations, the situation can quickly become critical for the security, productivity, and image of your business. However, there are effective ways to manage these challenging times while ensuring the protection of your employees and facilities.

With GardaWorld Security, service excellence is more than just a promise: it’s the very essence of what we do. In this article, we explain why safe management during work stoppages is essential and how specialized services can help you navigate these crises successfully.

Why is it essential?

Work stoppages, whether caused by strikes or internal conflicts, expose your business to multiple risks. The impact extends far beyond just a suspension of production. Consider the safety of your employees, your infrastructure, potential acts of vandalism, or even the tensions that may escalate into violence during demonstrations.

Each day of stoppage increases the likelihood of costly complications, whether in terms of repairs, public relations, or commercial losses. You need more than just management. You need a targeted, swift, and professional strategy capable of minimizing these risks while preserving the integrity of your operations.

What we do: A proactive approach

For example, a large company in the industrial sector recently sought our services in anticipation of a strike that could paralyze its operations. Our consulting services developed a strategy to anticipate security challenges and prepare a safe response plan to protect the company’s assets.

When the labour dispute erupted, our specialized teams immediately implemented a reinforced security setup, with security guards trained to defuse tensions while securing site access. Thanks to our intervention, the company not only protected its infrastructure but also avoided any major incidents, preserving its reputation and its relationship with non-striking employees.We don’t just react; we anticipate. Our approach is based on integrated solutions that protect all of our clients' interests.

Access Control and Crowd Management: During demonstrations or picket lines, access to facilities must be strictly controlled to prevent any escalation. Our teams are trained to handle these situations with tact and efficiency, ensuring the protection of people and property while avoiding confrontations.

Business Continuity Plan: Stopping production is often not an option. We work with you to identify critical processes and ensure their continuity, even during a conflict. This can include temporary solutions to protect your operations while maintaining on-site safety.

Crisis Communication: In the event of a labour dispute, managing relationships with stakeholders is crucial. Our team can advise you on the best way to communicate with unions, employees, and the media, ensuring minimal impact on your public image.

More than services: A tailor-made solution

Why turn to us during a strike or labour dispute? Because our mission is not limited to providing security guards. We are here to design comprehensive solutions tailored to the specific challenges you face. We understand that every work stoppage is unique and requires a personalized approach. The excellence of our services lies in our ability to anticipate problems and implement solutions that protect your assets while allowing you to remain focused on your long-term goals.

Prevent rather than endure

Prevention remains the best strategy. We help you implement measures to prevent conflicts from escalating into crises. For instance, a security management plan for labour disputes, regular audits of your facilities and working conditions, and continuous social dialogue can help defuse tensions before they become unmanageable. Additionally, training your teams in crisis management and security protocols during work stoppages ensures a swift and effective response to any eventuality.

Conclusion

When it comes to managing work stoppages, our commitment to service excellence is your greatest asset. With our expertise and tailored solutions, you can overcome strikes and labour disputes with peace of mind. Protect your employees, assets, and reputation by trusting professionals who prioritize your security and success.
