CONSHOHOCKEN, PA--(Marketwire - February 2, 2010) - AlliedBarton Security Services, the
industry's premier provider of highly trained security personnel, for the
fifth consecutive year has earned recognition as one of Training magazine's
Top 125 training companies. Training magazine, the leading business
publication for learning and development professionals, initially honored
AlliedBarton five years ago as the first security services company to make
the prestigious list. This year's Top 125 leading training organizations
were revealed during the awards gala held February 1 at the Training 2010
Conference & Expo in San Diego, CA.
"To be ranked among the best learning and development companies for five
consecutive years is an amazing accomplishment," said Jim Gillece,
AlliedBarton Chief People Officer and Senior Vice President of Human
Capital Management. "Quality training programs are critical to our
employees' growth and development, and to our ability to provide the high
level of security service our customers rely on every day."
The Training Top 125 is determined by assessing a range of qualitative and
quantitative factors, including financial investment in employee
development, the scope of development programs, and how closely such
development efforts are linked to business goals and objectives.
"It is a great honor to continually be recognized by Training magazine and
other top organizations for the programs and initiatives that have helped
us gain our position as the most responsive security services company,"
said Bill Whitmore, AlliedBarton President and CEO. "Through our learning
and development programs we've developed leaders who help ensure the safety
and security of people, homes and businesses at thousands of locations
across the country."
"The training and development of AlliedBarton's security officers and
managers is essential to our service delivery and on-the-job performance,"
Whitmore continued. "We continue to allocate extensive resources to
developing and delivering the finest training programs in the security
industry. As America's largest privately held security services provider,
we consider the preparation of our security personnel to be a critical
responsibility."
