Cybersecurity - Increasing your staff engagement

Improving your cybersecurity engagement through your team is sometimes a frustrating task.  Here are some helpful ways to get more interest and involvement:

Self-improvement - These skills are needed everywhere - including for their own personal safety.  Relate them to ways this can help their family, friends, and communities.

Start during onboarding - Start right from their first day - get them involved and make it part of the culture.

Not everyone learns the same way - Use Internal Chats on Teams/Skype/Slack, Videos, Infographics in the break room, and emails.

Talk about the data and what it means - Personalize the Data about your clients, their families, and their businesses.  It means a lot more than faceless files and data.

Regular Updates - Reinforce over time and regularly rather than periodically or annually.

Stick to the facts - A bulleted list with actions will hold much more attention and retention than paragraphs of verbosity.

Get ownership involved - Set the tone from the top

Create visibility - A fun game/contest with $5 Starbucks cards goes a long way to getting everyone involved.
