The security guard will approach visitors and ask them, “Please take my photograph next to the artwork on the exhibition.”

--

In various situations within their scope of work, the security team has to deal directly with the public in the spaces under surveillance. A fundamental guideline in this type of interaction is to perform the task in a formal, respectful and cordial manner. To this end, it is essential to use kind words, so that heritage is preserved and the public feels more inclined to follow the necessary guidelines and safety standards. "Excuse me", "please", "thank you", "with all due respect" are some examples. Another situation in the relationship of cordiality in art exhibition spaces is the practice of small favors requested by the audience from the security team. It is very common to see, for example, requests for security guards to take a photograph of visitors near the works they liked the most, as a way of recording their visit and producing memories. Depending on the guidelines, the security guards, always respectfully, will help the visitors or not.

In this scenario, Amador e Jr. Segurança Patrimonial Ltda. provides the service Please. By advancing to establish an atmosphere of harmony and peacefulness for the safeguarding practices, the security guard will approach the visitor at the exhibition and, in a very cordial manner, ask him, “Please take my photograph next to the work of art,” recording him standing by in his work environment. By asking for kindness to the audience first, Amador e Jr. Segurança Patrimonial Ltda. takes the ancient prophet's principle into art spaces: "kindness begets kindness".

Promote cordiality at your exhibition and hire Please..
