All emails are work emails that are public record and are used to keep track of any communication, especially if an issue was to arise. Webinar and phone conference calls are heavily used because just about all of the Securus employees are not just in one location, but go from one place to the next for work.

External communication is through the company website, SecurusTech.net, were customers can pay their monthly bill and chat live with a Securus Representative about anything concerning their account. A tech support number is also provided to the facilities, that we service, if they have any issues with the company equipment.

    For a company, organizational culture is very important because the culture is like something that the employee can be based for. In addition, the organizational culture is defined as a system of shared meaning and beliefs within an organization that determines, in a large degree, how employee's act (Robbins, et al., 2003, p. 70). Founders of new organizations and managers play an important role in creating and maintaining organizational cultures. However, ethical organizational cultures are those in which ethical values and norms are emphasized. As Jones and George (2003, p. 350) argue that ethical organizational cultures can help organizations and their members behave in a socially responsible manner. Some might believe that if they do the ethical corporate culture, they will be able to get much profit.…

    Through the last 14 years that I have worked with CSS / El Camino they continually are present in the lives of the individual’s that they serve. A professional example of this is I have worked with 17 plus individuals that have the company as their HPC provider and they have never wanted to change providers. I believe the reason for this is that CSS have a good employee tenure and work hard to make sure that their employees are vested in the mission of the company. Which in turn makes the staff / individual relationships a win –win. The individuals feel the security of their staff and know that they can feel safe and trust an employee who has been empowered to assist, support and involve them in the individual’s life goals. A personal example of this is that CSS staff and the El Camino (Columbia House) have been the only family that my Uncle Sammie has had to rely on. I know that he has only received the best care, love and support from the day that he arrived and was put under their care. He has always has everything that he needs and is spoiled by the dedication that he has been given by his staff. I could not imagine his life anywhere else because he would die from a broken heart if he was taken away from his family. For this I will…
