MediaWork PLC – Security for New Staff

Welcome to your new job at MediaWork. In order to ensure your personal security and the security of the company, we ask you to read, take note of, and act on the information below.

First, we require a passport sized digital photo for your company ID card. Please email us one as soon as possible. If you have to pay for one, please retain the receipt, so that you can be reimbursed.

When you arrive for your first day at work, please go to reception. They will be expecting you and will issue you with your ID card. The card has a long green cord attached to it. Please wear the ID card around your neck at all times whilst in the company building. In this way, it’s easy to spot anyone who should not be in the building.

After you receive your ID card and every time you enter or leave the company building, please swipe your card on the reader at the entrance. The reader is at chest level for people who already have the cards around their necks. The swiping of your card allows the company to track your working hours, so that they can correctly assess any overtime or flexitime that you do. It also allows the company to know who is in the building at any one time, in case there is a fire practice or emergency.

After you have reported to your department, your first day induction will begin with a security briefing. This will let you know about various security procedures that are necessary in our company. This will take place in the meeting room on the 10th floor. During it, you will be asked to endorse a waiver, allowing us to monitor your movements around the building on our CCTV system and your movements on the Internet. Our systems are designed to cover all people’s movements around the building for security purposes and they are not designed to single out you or any other individual.

After your security briefing, please go to the IT department on the 3rd floor. The IT people will assign you all the passwords that you will need to operate our systems. Please commit these to memory as soon as you can. If you feel that any of your passwords are compromised, let the IT department know as soon as possible, so that they can cancel them and issue new ones.

Finally, on return to your department, you will be asked to read and initial our visitors’ policy. We all have visitors from time to time and your visitors must be met at reception by you, so that you can sign them in. Visitors will be issued a visitors’ card, which has a bright blue cord that must be worn around their necks for easy identification.
