WE LOOK AFTER THE THINGS THAT MATTER
Our leadership teams are intent on making people and places the best they can be, providing colleagues, customers and communities with the best conditions and opportunities to thrive.
The Five Force Security Approach
We look after the things that matter.
As a Social Enterprise, people are our business. We value each and every Five Force colleague and set the welfare and wellbeing of our workforce as a top priority. We believe that if our employees feel cared for, invested in and appreciated, this directly impacts on the service received by our customers.
Being a Social Enterprise means we really do change lives. Coupled with our mission to pay all our staff a living wage means Five Force are genuinely different to all other security companies in the UK.

Caring about quality of life means placing trust at the heart of our relationships. Sodexo is built on a solid foundation of loyalty to its clients, employees and shareholders, and on honest and open relationships with them. Loyalty is one of the cornerstones of how our business operates.
Transparency
Integrity
We do not tolerate and we condemn all practices that are not based on honesty, integrity and fairness, regardless of where our business operates in the world. We make our position clear to our clients, suppliers and employees, and expect them to reject corrupt and unfair practices.
Respect
Humanity is central to our business. Sodexo is committed to acting in favor of equal opportunity, regardless of ethnicity, age, gender, beliefs, religion or sexual orientation. Improving quality of life means treating each individual with respect, dignity and consideration.
OUR COLLEAGUE CHARTER
Our service delivery philosophy is underpinned at every stage by our people first approach and a genuine drive for collaboration. We focus on the customer journey, viewing security solutions from the client’s perspective, with the aim of demonstrating the real value security can bring.
Over the years we’ve realised what we need to concentrate on to achieve this truly people first approach is – our people. That’s why we developed our Five Force Colleague Charter. It means that everyone working as part of the Five Force family knows they are part of a business that really does prioritise its people – through professional development, reward and recognition schemes and genuine investment in personal wellbeing.

EVERYONE DESERVES A LIVING WAGE
Paying our people fairly and ensuring they earn a living wage is a fundamental principle of our philosophy. We choose to work with customers who share this value and do all we can to help those who really want to, to get there too.
HANDS-ON MANAGEMENT SUPPORT HELPS PROGRESSION
Our management teams are given the space to actively engage with front-line staff, coaching and mentoring our colleagues to get the very best from their employment with Five Force.
DIVERSITY IS AN EXPECTATION, NOT A REQUIREMENT
Our equality, diversity, and inclusion programme provides an inclusive working environment that benefits from real diversity. Everyone at Five Force is free to be themselves, knowing that we will support them as well as helping to shape our strategy.
CONTRIBUTING AND BEING PART OF THE WIDER TEAM IS KEY
We rely on knowledge, experience, and ideas from across our workforce to help shape our business. Every year we use colleague feedback to set objectives, create plans, and improve everything we do.
HAVING A VOICE IS IMPORTANT BUT BEING HEARD IS ESSENTIAL
We don’t just provide our colleagues with the tools to communicate with us, we listen when they do. Our annual colleague survey, email hotline, and workplace forums allow us to respond to colleague feedback and make changes where they matter most.
