Holiday Headaches for Businesses

The holidays can be a stressful time for many individuals, and they can cause headaches for many businesses too. Read on for some solutions to these annual problems that can really take the joy out of the season.

Increase in Thefts

The number of thefts increase by 20% during the run-up to the holidays in December, so being more aware of this is important to prevent your business from becoming a target.  Security alarm systems should be tested and upgraded if necessary. Businesses may need some extra vigilance to protect physical assets. Including monitored security cameras in your set up may not only prevent thieves from stealing but can help track them down after the fact if they do.

Weather Woes

Bad winter weather is another possible headache that may affect your business. It can create delays that stop products and supplies from reaching your or your clients as expected. It can also create the real possibility of power outages that can impact your ability to run a business. Planning ahead with extra inventory, maybe a generator or offsite disaster recovery location can counteract these issues.

Vacation Days

Many businesses either close for several days over the holidays or allow many if not most employees to take vacation days. If the office will be empty for longer than usual, a robust security system with video monitoring is a great way to combat burglaries and theft. Access control systems that only allow in authorized personnel are also an important tool in securing your location.
