Page 4 Front Line In an effort to maintain the Brink’s standard of superior customer service, Brink’s Global Services (BGS) held a training session in Hong Kong for the Asia Pacific (AP) region. The purpose was to demonstrate appreciation to front line employees, enrich employee industry knowledge and allow employees to interact with their counterparts throughout their region. Participants at the BGS AP regional training session are current key players in the organization who interact and communicate with customers and employees, and are responsible for sales and marketing, diamond & jewelry exhibitions, operations and customer service. During the BGS AP training sessions, participants reviewed: rules and regulations, everyday business skills that encompass professional knowledge of procedures and security concerns, market comprehension and proper etiquette when dealing with affiliates, customers and authorities. The attendees will implement what they learned at the session and later conduct local training. Successful Sessions Representatives from twelve countries were in attendance at the BGS AP training session. Their main goal was to personally meet affiliates and build relationships while acquiring new skills, gaining additional company knowledge, and sharing best practices. Multiple sessions were offered over the three-day training session. Brink’s hosted a session titled Operations and Security, which included a presentation that touched on the company’s history and highlighted humorous anecdotes most of the participants heard for the first time. Other informative sessions involved general training on state-of-the-art technologies and systems to ultimately provide better customer service. In addition, attendees were involved in beneficial team building activities.
