What can organisations do?

SGSecure@Workplaces

If you are a decision maker in an organisation, you can play an important part in the SGSecure national movement by making sure that your organisation is prepared and resilient to withstand a terror attack. The SGSecure@Workplaces programme is an initiative to equip workplaces with the relevant knowledge and capabilities to deal with terror attacks. Decision makers are encouraged to take the 3Ps approach at your workplace to build up organisational resilience against terrorism.

Prepare Your Workforce

Your employees are your greatest assets. It is crucial you prepare them with the right knowledge and skills to prevent and deal with crises. If an attack happens, a prepared and cohesive workforce can minimise your downtime and help your business return to normalcy quickly.

Protect Your Workplace

Risk management plans and mitigation measures are critical to ensure your business can withstand crises. Taking these steps will enable you to prevent and minimise potential losses and resume operations quickly after crises.

Partner Your Community

The impact for a terror attack extends beyond the point of attack. Your operations may be disrupted if your partners are affected. Build up a network within your community to solve problems collective. Strong community networks strengthen vigilance and boost your ability to respond effectively and swiftly to crises.
