Cybersecurity is a real concern and a true necessity. With that said, focusing on IT solutions to solve these problems is like locking the front door but leaving the back door and windows wide open (read her recent magazine article on this topic<strong> here<\/strong>). As a result of her past work in top secret \/ highly classified work environments and her more recent work and research, Dr. Ofosu has developed many practical but non-technical ways to protect data and IP. Here&#8217;s a snapshot of the problem in her article <strong>&#8220;Is Cyber Security Alone Ever Enough?&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>and in her guest appearances on the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/podcast\/steve-higdon\/the-insider-threat-podcast\/e\/52281240?autoplay=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Insider Threat Podcast<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and the<a href=\"http:\/\/sharedsecurity.net\/2017\/12\/14\/the-shared-security-podcast-episode-70-insider-threat-psychology-with-special-guest-dr-helen-ofosu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong> Shared Security Podcast<\/strong><\/a>.

This is similar to a<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>health check or status update of your organization <strong>to understand what&#8217;s working, what&#8217;s not working, hidden issues, and\/or problems<\/strong>. When productivity is flat or reduced, or when absenteeism and\/or turnover are becoming common, you need to get to the root cause. Not asking, and therefore, not knowing is rarely a smart option. There are times when it\u2019s simply too expensive to ignore quiet, simmering problems. One challenge is that most employees are reluctant to participate in employee surveys because they don\u2019t trust that their answers will remain anonymous.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you need to get a <strong>very high response rate<\/strong> (i.e., 85% or more of all employees) and you need to get <strong>honest answers<\/strong>, I have a solution. I can conduct confidential employee surveys on tablets that are not web-enabled. Your employees won\u2019t have to worry about their answers being traced back to their corporate email address, an IP address, or any other identifiable features\/marks on paper forms. Employees\u2019 answers are completely private and anonymous. Employees\u2019 answers are collected on tablets and the information is combined offline. Then, I can analyze the results and report them in a way that does not allow attribution \u2013 answers cannot be traced back to individual employees. Issues that are reported in the survey can be addressed using strategies and interventions that I custom-design to resolve the problems.<\/p>\n<p>These short-term HR services are completely customizable.
