Security personnel status and type distribution

At present, the security industry has ushered in a golden period of development with rapid growth in industrial scale and market capacity. However, compared with other industries, the security industry is still at an early stage due to late start-up, so the core technology and industrial structure are There is still a large gap between the security industry in terms of management level and comprehensive benefits. Whether it is necessary to train and build a team of high-quality talents that meet the needs of industrial development has become the key to promoting the sustained, healthy and rapid development of the security industry.

In particular, in recent years, the well-known large companies in the telecommunication operators, networks, and computer technology industries have captured the powerful opportunities in market demand, expanded their service and technology, expanded into the security industry, and their technology and management. Complementary to the lack of traditional security, won a certain number of customer needs, access to some market share. At this time, traditional security companies face many bottlenecks in their development, among which the issue of operational capital and talents are even more prominent. At present, the most critical bottleneck in the development of the security industry is still talent.

According to the statistical analysis of China's Security and Protection Industry Association, there are currently more than 20,000 enterprises engaged in security and protection, of which there are more than 10,000 security engineering companies that have been licensed (qualified), and more than 2,000 alarm operation companies; annual growth rate More than 15%, the industry's total output value in 2013 has exceeded 250 billion; currently employs more than 100 million, including professional and technical personnel accounted for about 60%, engaged in security professional design, installation, operation, evaluation, consulting and other professional technologies There are more than 600,000 employees; practitioners are mainly distributed in security companies, user units of security systems, scientific research institutions, testing agencies, certification agencies, and industry management departments; the geographical distribution of employees is generally: Guangdong (including Shenzhen) accounts for 36%; Beijing, Shanghai accounted for 16%; Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu accounted for 40%; other provinces (mainly coastal economically developed areas) accounted for 8%.

I. Corporate management and management personnel account for 10%

The conceptual definition of enterprise operation and management talents can be defined as people who are engaged in business or operation management, have certain knowledge or skills in operation or management, can carry out creative work, and have a greater role in promoting enterprise development. Emphasis on professional managers, in the security industry, there have been a group of professional managers, in some listed companies, there are a large number of outstanding professional managers exist in some foreign companies and large enterprises are also there. With the development of China's security industry, this group will grow bigger and bigger.

Second, technology and research personnel account for 15%

The R&D talents are mainly new product and new technology research and development personnel. Security is a comprehensive high-tech industry integrating photoelectric, audio and video transmission, and communication technologies. Although it has some correlation with the technologies of optoelectronics, audio and video transmission, networking, and communications, or an extension of these technologies, it is not exactly equivalent to these technologies. Since security is not an independent technology category, and it is not a mainstream technology, it has never received the attention of the society in the past. Colleges and universities or scientific research institutions do not have specialized security technology professional or research institutions. Therefore, there are many R&D personnel in the security industry. From the electronics or telecommunications industries, it is a "half way out of home", so the real high-level R & D personnel is very scarce, "half bottle of water" R & D personnel are more, so the overall level of security R & D team needs to be improved.

For R&D-based companies or production-oriented companies, R&D staff should have the highest wages in the company. This is reasonable because their work is very important to the development of the company. In short, technical talents do not receive due attention in some enterprises, which is caused by the company's business philosophy.

Third, planning and marketing talent 35%

Planning and marketing talents refers to a series of management knowledge, such as modern sales management, product marketing, planning, and operation skills. They can use e-commerce and network technologies to conduct market research, forecast analysis, market development, business negotiation, product promotion, and marketing planning. High-quality talents such as practical ability. Relatively speaking, the security industry is a very small industry, and it is not attractive to true senior planning and marketing talents. Therefore, the security industry can truly be called "planning and marketing talents" with few masterminds and sales elites.

Due to the particularity of the security industry, marketers are required not only to have basic marketing knowledge, but also to have to understand certain technologies. Otherwise, it is impossible to carry out even the most basic things of introducing products to customers, let alone promoting products.

According to the survey, the qualifications and cultural levels of the marketing staff of many companies in the security industry are not very high, and it is not even more true that they learn from the marketing of professional "coaches". Due to the lack of long-term and overall planning for the training and management of marketing personnel, the company pursues The short-term effect leads to the result that the sales personnel in the security industry are polarized - they are excavated and excavated, and they are not mixed together.

Fourth, industry workers account for 40%

The development of any industry is inseparable from senior management talents and ordinary production workers on the production line, especially skilled workers, because they are an important part of the industrial army and the cornerstone of the industry. However, the status quo of the mechanics in the security industry is not optimistic. Many production workers in the production line of the security industry come from electronics factories and rural villages in the interior. With the continuous development of the industry, the production scale of the company is also expanding and the production line is increasing. Many companies recruit a certain number of new workers each year, but these people Most of them are fellows introduced by fellow villagers and others, and some are workers who have had some simple operation experience such as assembly of electronic products and spot welding from electronics factories in other industries. Strictly speaking, they are novices.

These novices basically do not have any formal vocational skills training after entering the factory. Even if they do, they are the traditional mode of “masters with apprentices”. After a short period of “passing, helping, and taking”, they directly perform posts. The quality awareness of these workers is not high, coupled with the backwardness of the company's technical equipment, which results in the uneven quality of some companies' products.

Many corporate executives do not pay attention to the skills training of workers, but are keen to allow workers to work overtime in order to pursue cost-effectiveness and maximize short-term benefits.

The low labor cost has always been the advantage of China's security manufacturing industry. However, one fact that cannot be overlooked is that security industry workers have a low general culture and lack of skills. As a result, the skilled workforce is small, and some companies even experience "skilled workers." Moreover, technical workers are also unstable, and there will be large fluctuations before and after the Spring Festival every year. This will cause the company to become an "iron-plated combat force." Many companies have to work hard to recruit labor for the sake of sales. The skilled workers in the security industry and the skill level of workers must constantly improve, otherwise it is difficult to adapt to the ever-changing requirements of security and technological progress.

V. Project management talents of security projects (accounting for a small percentage)

With the new security concept, the needs of new technology and management talents are being driven. The concept of Daan security is the improvement and improvement of the traditional security precautions. The traditional security precautions are essentially the tacit understanding of public security techniques. This concept cannot meet the needs of society for security applications. The traditional security technology precautions should be a narrow concept of security precautions. Nowadays, the security technology that users need should be designed to prevent (prevent) risks in response to the user's object of prevention and risk. This creates the need for risk management talent.

The integrated designer of security engineering should also understand how to help the enterprise to use a limited amount of funds to avoid risks that may occur at different levels of risk through the design of the system plan to meet the customer's security risk prevention objectives within a certain period of time. demand. The problem of security engineering construction is not only the physical accumulation system of technology application, it should be a comprehensive prevention and control system construction problem. The comprehensive prevention and control system for safety precautions to be built should ultimately emphasize effectiveness. Comprehensive prevention and control is a manifestation of security in system engineering. It includes “physical prevention, technical prevention, human protection, and security management” (ie, physical defense, technology A system project for defense, air defense, and management. In such systems engineering, security consulting companies, training education, and engineering design all need to supplement a large number of new talents that meet the needs of the security market and understand management. At this point, the original security industry began to adopt the concept of technical security, cultivate talents, serve customers, and place itself in the security service market.
