    Any time there is a fundamental change within an organization, it is sure to ruffle some feathers. Whether it’s new parking regulations, a shift in business hours or a change in the dress code, it will take some time for the employee population to adapt and become comfortable with the new reality.

    This reality also applies when it comes to installing security entrances at a facility. New turnstiles, revolving doors or security portals require “trained traffic” to be used properly and safely. This means there is a significant change in behavior for personnel who may have been accustomed to simply walking into a building or flashing an ID card to a security officer. Ultimately, that could translate into dissatisfaction and resistance to adoption, causing greater exposure to risk.
