Long mired in stereotypes, the field of security is gradually revealing a new face, giving way to feminine know-how

“Above all, it’s a vocation in its own right.”

– Claire M. mission manager at SIR

At SIR, our female employees in the field occupy a variety of positions: secure reception, access control, central operator, surveillance of sensitive sites (NGOs, banks, companies), interventions… Their role is essential and their presence unavoidable.

While some join the business as auxiliary agents during their studies, others choose a permanent position with a guaranteed annual schedule – a real plus for reconciling family life and professional commitment.

This flexibility paves the way for real development and career progression. Proof of this is provided by one of our employees who, after starting out as an auxiliary, continued her career with the bailiffs and finally joined the HR department. Thanks to her commitment and determination to acquire new skills, both in the field and on the school bench, she is now in charge of the HR department. Or an agent who has just returned from maternity leave, and now fully combines her responsibilities as a mother with her career.

With its long-standing commitment to gender equality, SIR has made equity a fundamental pillar of its business. This conviction has been rewarded with Fair On Pay Advanced certification, a guarantee of our concrete and lasting commitment.
