Allied Universal won for “Outstanding Security Training Initiative” and “Outstanding Contract Security Officer” on behalf of Christian Sorto, an Allied Universal Senior Supervisor who is based in Ashburn, Virginia.
“This OSPA security training initiative recognizes companies that have made a difference in improving security practices via training and we are honored to have been given this prestigious award,” says Brent O’Bryan, Vice President, Corporate Training, Allied Universal. “We developed a training program designed to increase time to productivity, improve employee retention and increase the percentage of ‘ready now’ leaders. The program provides employees at all levels with a consistent and clear path to success.”
