Guard turnover is the number one operational challenge security firms name. And it's not close.

The average firm replaces its entire guard force once a year. Some replace it three times over. Every cycle pulls money and attention away from the work that wins contracts.

Most firms only count the obvious costs. This paper shows you the rest.

You'll see how to:

  • Cut the hidden costs of constant rehiring
  • Onboard and deploy new guards faster
  • Use training to keep good guards longer

This white paper puts a real number on what turnover costs — direct and hidden — and lays out a training model that turns retention into a strategy instead of a compliance checkbox.

Inside, You'll Learn

  • Why the industry sees 100% average turnover — more than twice the private-sector rate
  • What a bad hire actually costs: 30–40% of salary for a frontline guard, up to 200% for a leadership role
  • The hidden costs most firms miss — coverage gaps, overtime, supervisor burnout, and lost contracts
  • How a scalable training model drives retention, with 94% of workers saying they'd stay where their development is invested in
