You can invest in your people, keeping their skills up-to-date for the constant change they will be faced with in the workplace, or you can view all of them as a simple cost to be cut down to the bare minimum.
If you do, at least consider the cost of hiring a bunch of new folks year after year.
Because you will be.
A New Low For Hackers – Threatening to Disclose Patient Medical, Mental Health Records as Ransom for Payment– Makes sense. If the organization won’t pay the ransom maybe the patients have more incentive to do so. I expect this to start targeting gender-affirming and women’s health in the US soon, right?

No one wants a boss when they deserve a leader.
This, of course, is the rub. The value of a one-on-one meeting is subject to the ability of the manager and the direct report to conduct a quality meeting. While that sounds pretty simple, let me ask you a question.
Have you ever been taught how to have a quality one-on-one meeting with your boss or with a direct report?
I’ve also spoken to some in-house trainers who see this up close. People come to them because they lack some knowledge and hope the training will help them because their manager hasn’t given them clear direction. They don’t realize that they haven’t been getting a clear direction. They assume there is some skill or knowledge they are missing. Where do you go when there’s a skill you need? To Training and Development!
But the trainer can’t give you that clear direction about your job. That has to come from your manager.
