The top priority for Guest Safety Agents is to provide hospitality and ensure outlet spaces are safe.  To do so, the Security Agent must maintain a safe, secure and hospitable environment for occupants in accordance with all laws, regulations, and codes, along with the core standards of HRI Hospitality.   The Security Agent must be hospitable and service-oriented - greeting, hosting, and maintaining friendly relationships with all guests, employees, and outside visitors. That also includes but is not limited to escorting guests to facilities, exits and communicating outlet standards of safety: (i.e. outlets such as Rooftop Pool that have a pool or Music Hall which has a balcony.)   Security Agents are present to ensure a safe experience for all of our patrons.  Most importantly, securing the floor should have the appearance of friendly assistance rather than policing guests like a security guard.
