Ensuring the security of Starwood’s properties, Security and Loss Prevention
plays a crucial role within Starwood. It is a function that affects not only
the physical resorts, hotels, and operations centers, but the security of our
associates and our guests as well.
Security and Loss Prevention candidates have a genuine concern for the
safety and well being of others around them. Keys to success within this role:
the ability to spot situations or surroundings that are out of the ordinary and
the ability to interact in a friendly and courteous manner with both internal
and external clients.
Building both on experience and fundamentals, Security and Loss Prevention
associates begin as security guards at either a resort or business center.
After this introduction, associates progress, moving into supervisory or
managerial roles in Facilities, Loss Prevention and Security. An
opportunity that affords more than flexible schedules as well as the ability to
contribute to the security of guests and fellow associates, Security and Loss
Prevention has ample opportunity within Starwood’s properties. With 825+
locations worldwide, the world is open.
I really appreciate the organizational culture Starwood has. I spent two
years in the army, so the idea of teamwork was familiar to me. However,
Starwood provides an added meaning to teamwork. Their training programs have
really improved my job skills and have even carried over into my personal
life.
As a security officer, I ensure the safety of the environment so our guests
and staff are secure and comfortable. At the same time, being part of
Starwood, I also help guests as much as I can. If a guest needs something, I
try to provide it, or, at the very least, connect them with someone who
can.
