People VS Technology: Three Ways Working for a Bristol Security Guard Company Provides a Competitive Edge for Bristol Businesses
Do you ever feel like an insignificant cog in the great machine that is more commonly referred to as your employment?
It seems that technology is taking over our world, and that bit by bit, people are being replaced by machines that are starting to do our jobs for us. Whereas once, businesses may have used receptionists to divert callers, for example, it seems that now all we ever speak to is an automated service that gives us our options and responds to our button pressing.
But does technology mark the end of human value everywhere? Does it mean that eventually there will be no jobs left, and only artificial intelligence to do what humans used to? We think not.
Security Guards Unlikely to Be Replaced
See, if you’re considering getting a job with a Bristol security guard company, the value of your work cannot easily be replaced by technology. For example:
– CCTV Cameras CAN ‘Watch’ Your Premises: OK, so it’s true that before CCTV things went on somebody spotting something and nothing else. So it might be sensible to think that the introduction of CCTV (more than 50 years ago now) is likely to start replacing the need for security guards. Right? Wrong:
– CCTV Cameras CANNOT Do Anything About What They See: When’s the last time you saw a camera jump up from its stand and chase a shoplifter until he or she gave back the goods they had stolen? Chances are, never. Whilst CCTV (closed circuit television) cameras can indeed give better visibility to a premise, they still need a human touch – somebody to operate them; somebody to monitor activity caught by them; somebody to turn evidence into action.
The fact is, in roles that require person to person interaction such as roles you might expect to play working for a Bristol security guard company, it is still very difficult to imagine technology taking over. Unless of course you’re a fan of modern science fiction movies in which robots take over the world and even catch criminals (think Robo Cop)!
So if you’re worried about your career but are considering working for a Bristol security guard company, we say you’re in luck – there’s definitely a place for you, and one that won’t be taken over for at least another 50 years (we hope!).
