If you are going late night to any building or apartment you can only find a watchman , not the secretary not the neighbour, and not anyone else, the guard. So picking the right watchman in Bangalore is a very important decision for your society or home. At Maid Services Bangalore, we see how buildings and societies run day to day.

A watchman who is the first person at your gate check who is coming, taking round of the campus, and meets unknown visitors daily, taking care of the property when you are not at your home, so look before hiring anyone. 

Qualities to look before hiring a watchman.

Firstly, look for what you want , you want a watchman in Bangalore for your society, home, or office, because these are all different, prepare a list of your requirements, then look for people.

Honesty and a Clean Background

This is the most important thing, ask for ID proof, address proof and past reference call the reference yourself and talk about all the things also do police verification before hiring,

Physical Fitness & Alertness

A good watchman in Bangalore is physically fit, stays awake , walks around the premises and takes care of your property. You don’t need a body builder but you need a physically fit watchman to take care off.

Behaviour & Experience

Watch how he talks with your family members and house help in bangalore because families depend on the househelp and they are first person to meet with them on gate also ask about the work experience because experience guards know their duties very well you don’t need to tell them. 

Agency or Direct Hiring: Which Way Is Better?

Hiring directly looks cheaper but carries lot of risk so that’s why lot of people go with  trusted agencies because they provide lot of benefits like they do all the verification , check past reference and also provide replacement policy and this is also the reason people hire maid in Bangalore from trusted agencies 

So it is best to hire watchman in bangalore through a trusted agency not with direct hiring.

Daily duties and rules

Write all the rules and duties at one place like entry and exit timing , visitors register , night rounds , delivery and parcel handling because all societies with good safety and security in bangalore have set of rules written because it is the easiest way to male things easy for you and your watchman in bangalore as well

Managing entry of visitors and Domestic staff 

Helpers come each and every day , so at the gate guard should know them anyone in the society who have full time maid bangalore or even a part time maid should provide their photo and name and timing so there will be no problem at the gate.

At maid services bangalore we inform all these things before , so there is no confusion between new person or helper.

Cooks also , Cook maid bangalore provide cooks in bangalore who also come around 6 every morning so your guard know must about them

 Tell your guard he should have to maintain register in which he have to write flat number , reason to came , and timing , these are things what watchman in bangalore must do every single time at the gate,

Keeping the entrance clean

Security as not all about locks it was all about maintaining and managing things , there should be no messy entrance , a dirty guard room and garbage near the gate , many societies book bangalore house cleaning services for these things , managing and booking these services are also on the guards to do list. 

And also give guard a proper place to sit and take rest because they are also a human being.

Common mistakes societies make

First, hiring the cheapest option , skip verification, slipping past reference , don’t do police verification , no feedback from the residents and most importantly, never check if the guard at night is he awake or not, do a surprise visit for checking him on his duty time.

FAQ’s

What type of document should i ask my watchman? 

Adhaar card , address proof and couple of photos also contain past reference and police verification documents. These are the important documents you should ask before hiring.

How many guards does my building need? 

This totally depends upon the size of your building. A small building manages with one guard at the main gate but a big building needs guards at every  gate and also for night rounds.

Should i hire a guard through an agency or direct hiring is ok? 

Direct hiring is cheaper as compared to agency but agency provides all the verification documents of guard before placing and it was all about security so go with agency.

What should a working hours of guard be? 

8 to 12 hours at most with a break and a weekly off for rest. Longer shifts may cause discomfort and things got problematic here.

How do I know that my guard is doing a good job or not? 

Ask a few residents and ask about  their opinion,  what they think about the working of the guard because people of your society tell more about the working of a guard.

What if a stranger wants to enter your society or home? 

Your watchman should stop the person at the gate and ask for the reason and whom he wants to meet and the purpose also , then he calls and verify with the person or flat owner , If the stranger gets physical he will call the police and committee members.
