Enhance Your Employee Engagement Strategy 7 Workplace Trends for 2018

April 14, 2018

Employee engagement continues to be a priority for organizations. However, as much as HR professionals focus on it, workplaces are not moving the needle. Current studies show that fewer than 1 in 3 employees are engaged worldwide. And on a related topic, only 45 percent of U.S. employees are “satisfied” at work. Not only do organizations face disengagement by large numbers of employees, there’s a cost to the bottom line. According to The Engagement Institute, disengaged employees cost organizations between $450 and $550 billion annually. For the purposes of simple math, if you consider the number of full-time workers in the U.S. is approximately 125 million, the cost of disengagement is roughly $4,000 per employee.

Human Layer Security For Dummies

whitePaper | December 31, 2019

An organization’s human layer is its people. However, ­people are unpredictable and often cause data breaches — either accidentally or maliciously — as they create, store, and share increasing volumes of unstructured data. And this risk that people pose to sensitive information is only growing. The traditional security perimeter has disappeared with the adoption of cloud technology and flexible working practices that see staff, partners, and clients accessing data and applications via a range of devices and from multiple locations (potentially even from across the globe).
