RiskWorkers Security Consulting's corporate philosophy
RiskWorkers believes that values and norms are hugely important when dealing with employees, customers and partners, as well as for attaining a company's objectives. We know what our responsibilities are, and proactively shape them. To this end we have internally developed a corporate philosophy to act as the foundation for our corporate actions.
We would like to introduce these principles to you below:
RiskWorkers as a name and brand represents working on and alongside our customers' risks. We are more than just advisors. We offer assistance and support with putting measures into practice. We are not afraid to get stuck in when it comes to making our customers' business opportunities a reality or limiting their risks and dangers..
Green represents dawn, freshness, newness in the sector, security and freedom. We cut off dead wood, and are innovative.
Our logo, the interrupted radar, represents our approach of tackling challenges as comprehensively, transparently and systemically as possible.
Let us introduce ourselves! RiskWorkers Security Consulting makes no secret of the people involved. Our management has years of experience, and stands for competence, reliability and quality in terms of the services offered.
For us, leadership primarily means setting a good example and showing commitment, and taking responsibility. Furthermore, our employees always receive a share of our profits, and are offered investment options. This helps to retain staff and strengthens identification with the company.
We act in line with our own compliance guidelines.
