ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I didn’t even know there was a National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, but thanks to a few tweets, I learned that there is a such a thing, and there’s even a nice little website full of tips and helpful information about good cybersecurity practices.

If you head over there you can find things like this:

So go check it out, especially if you aren’t one of those 1 in 3 employees actually getting annual cyber training.

  • Do You Know Why Employees Leave? Do You Know Why They Stay?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 4 minutes

    My point isn’t to toot my own horn. It’s to give you a concrete example of what a difference sitting and talking to your employees can make in terms of understanding what works for them, or doesn’t work for them in the workplace. A survey has a purpose, especially when you realize that meeting one on one with all of your employees doesn’t scale very far. If you really want to know what’s going on, though, don’t wait for someone to leave so you conduct an exit interview. A stay interview might prevent them from leaving in the first place.

    And for god’s sake, conduct exit interviews too, and be willing to act on them. These people are telling you what went wrong, why wouldn’t you want to know that?

    If you were burned out, overworked, and struggling to keep up with the demands of the job, and a tool promised to save you 30 minutes or more to get your work done, you’d figure out how to use it, too.

    Of course, most of them are trying to use these tools without training and instruction from the company, so this is risky. One, because you have no idea what they are doing and what results they’re getting. Two, they might become even more burned out trying to teach themselves before they get to the part where it helps them save time.

    One Problem with SaaS Document Reviews

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I’ve sat in on enough product demos now, and had my own experience test-driving some of the applications, to have noticed something of a theme. Further discussions, have led me to believe that there’s something to this as well. Namely, that while using hosted document review tools may save you some money on the backend,…
