Keep Your Business Safe in the New Year

Are you doing all you can to keep your business secure?

Here's a checklist Update Company has put together to help keep your business safe.
Start the new year right by reviewing your safety program.

The most common incidents in our buildings are stolen purses and laptop computers. Finding ways to keep these two items secure will be a huge step in preventing theft.

Employees should have a locked cabinet or drawer for storage of purses/wallets

Laptop computers should not be left out on desks if the user is out of the office.

Keys should be kept in a secure spot, never leave your keys in the doorknob while working.

Keep building doors shut and locked on weekends; do not prop them open.

Make regular backups of your computer data, and keep one backup offsite.

Blank checks should be locked up, unopened boxes of checks should be taped shut because often a thief will take checks from the middle of the box.

Files with bank information, credit card numbers or social security numbers should be secured.

Have a staff member work facing the door to greet those entering the suite, or at least use your alarm door chime feature to alert you.

Prepare a lock-up checklist that is followed each night, including locking cabinets, closing and locking windows and setting the alarm.

If you have an alarm, use it EVERY night!

Update Company wants to help your organization to be successful in 2010! We will also post this checklist on our website under FAQ section http://www.updatecompany.com/

Developments continue in Raymond/University Despite COVID

More apartments are planned for 2225 University Avenue (next to the McDonald's) This is the former site of Paster Enterprises office building. We are excited to see more density for the neighborhood and more residents to support our local restaurants and retail.

Congratulations to Dave Anderson!

One of Update Company's long time tenants is awarded a Bush Fellowship. Dave Anderson, from All Parks Alliance for Change is one of the 2020 Bush Fellows, 24 visionary leaders who are thinking big about how to solve problems and shape a better future for their communities. The Bush Fellowship is an investment in individual leaders. It provides Fellows with up to $100,000 over 12 to 24 months to pursue formal and informal learning experiences that help them develop the skills, attributes and relationships they need to become more effective, equitable leaders who can drive change in their communities and region as a whole. The Fellowship is distinctive in its flexibility, allowing Fellows to articulate what they need to become more effective and agile leaders.

Platform Apartments Really Taking Shape!

The construction site is very busy at University and Hampden where the Platform Apartments are under construction. This is going to be a great addition to the neighborhood - replacing two blighted buildings - turning the corner into a beautiful place to live. A roof top patio will be a great amenity, as will the underground parking lot. We are excited for our new neighbors to move in this fall. St. Anthony Park is really growing - adding many new neighbors close to University. Hopefully this development will bring a new restaurant!
