Protect your Staffing Company and Clients from Data Theft

Protect your Staffing Company and Clients from Data TheftProtect your Staffing Company and Clients from Data TheftProtect your Staffing Company and Clients from Data Theft Berkowitz, Esq.Think your staffing companys data isnt of interest to hackers? Think again, warn the experts.When it comes to cybercrime, hackers thrive on opportunity says Bill Carey, vice president of marketing for the Roboform password manager. If hackers have the chance to get into your system, they will take it.The task can be doubly tricky for staffing companies that manage millions of individual pieces of confidential data about potential placements and must keep track of who sees each one. Many staffing companies also offer comprehensive onboarding and other HR services that require them to have access to their clients computer systems.The good news is that protecting your business from security threats and the confidential information of your clients and their placements doesnt have to cost a fortune.It d oes however require some effort up front and on an ongoing grund. Here are five things to do to protect your staffing company from cyber-hacks1. Know What to ProtectKnow what you need to protect and why that information is at risk, says cyber security expert Ray Cavanagh, member of the American Society for Industrial Security and its cloud computing subcommittee.He suggests sitting down with employees in charge of HR, IT, operations and security and identifying how your business transfers data or shares information and the person or department responsible for protecting it. This list will form the basis of a cyber security plan.Of particular importance for staffing companies is that they have access to their clients computer systems to know who has authority to log-in to each system, the IP address of the computer being used and the scope of the data being viewed or transferred.2. Create a Written PlanBoth Carey and Cavanagh agree that any cyber security plan should be written out. It should list every step required to keep information secure. Free resources on the Internet can help you develop a plan, which should cover protections from both external and internal threats includingFirewallsAnti-virus software (and updating)Malware protectionPassword managersSocial media controlsEmployee trainingAuthentication protocolsIn cases where a certain employee or group may regularly work with a clients computer system or data, a comprehensive plan might also address limiting log-ins to certain IP addresses. Controls can also be put in place regarding the amount of time thata particular staffing employee is given access to a specific client.3. Be Diligent About Due Diligence How are smaller companies managing this effort? Brandon Metcalf, founder of staffing and recruitment software as a service company Talent Rover completed a lengthy review and due diligence process before deciding to build the companys business on Salesforce.coms cloud-based platform.The decision mea ns that Salesforce.com, not Talent Rover, is responsible for protecting all of the companys online activities, including log-ins, data management, information storage and transfer, IP address tracking and password protection.Thus when a Talent Rover employee works with a client to implement a comprehensive staffing plan, or logs into a clients system, these activities take place thorugh Salesforce.com.But Metcalf warns its not enough to rely on a buzzword such as cloud-based as assurance that a service anbieter truly incorporates sufficient cloud protections.Ray Cavanagh agrees. Make sure you investigate every company or provider who will handle your data or interact with your servers. Just because a provider says they have migrated their services to the cloud or take security seriously doesnt mean they offer comprehensive cyber protections.4. Train Employees Carey, Cavanagh and Metcalf all stress the important of proper employee training around issues of cyber security.Do not assum e your employees will always use common sense when it comes to protecting against security breaches, warns Carey. He suggests having in-person meetings to explain the companys cyber policy including examples of threats, risky behaviors and the companys bring your own device (BYOD) policy.Cyber safety best practices for employees are similar to those for personal computer use. They includeTeaching employees how to create strong, memorable passwords when creating accountcredentials. These should be based on things other than family or pet names and dates that can easily be gleaned from social media.Instructing employees that they should never click on a link to access a clients website or to enter a work or customer system. Better to type the new address themselves.Providing specific examples of phishing language or malware that can trick employees into infecting computer systemsProhibiting downloads of anything onto a work computer or network without explicit authorization5. Know Wha t to Do if Your System is BreachedIf, despite your best efforts, you find yourself the victim of a cybercrime, Ray Cavanagh recommends unplugging your servers and going offline as quickly as possible until the threat is located and isolated.Bill Carey also suggests immediately changing the passwords for all hacked systems and communicating openly and honestly with employees and customers about what happened and what is being done to fix the situation.Such a scenario may require that you call in an outside expert to help find the source of the leak and fix it, both experts say.Legal Disclaimer None of the information provided herein constitutes legal advice on behalf of Monster.

Makeup Artist - Career Profile and Information

Makeup Artist - Career Profile and InformationMakeup Artist - Career Profile and InformationDid you ever wonder how your favorite actor aged 30 years during that movie you saw or how they made all those people look like zombies for that tv show? Those effects may have been created by CGI (computer graphics imagery), but it is also likely that a makeup artist may be responsible for them. He or she uses cosmetics to enhance or alter the appearances of actors who are in movies or television shows. Makeup artists also work with live performers such as stage actors, singers, and dancers. While some use special effects and prosthetics to change someones appearance significantly, others just help people, for example, newscasters and talk show hosts, become camera-ready. Makeup artists are sometimes expected also to style hair and wigs. Employment Facts There were 3,000 makeup artists employed in 2012. fruchtwein were employed by the motion picture and television broadcasting industries . Over a quarter of the people who worked in this occupation were? self-employed. Many jobs are short-term, sometimes lasting only a day or two, and makeup artists may experience long periods of unemployment between productions. In the past, many jobs were centered around Hollywood, but that is no longer the case as productions move to places where costs are lower. According to a 2013 New York Times article the ????Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Guild (Local 706), a union, actively encourages its members to find other work to do on the side (In Hollywood, Powderpuff Blues). Educational Requirements If you want to become a makeup artist, you will have to attend a school of cosmetology. Training will take between several months and a year.

Why Publishers Want Authors With Platforms

Why Publiszu sichs Want Authors With PlatformsWhy Publishers Want Authors With PlatformsA platform- also referred to as an author platform or a media platform- is an established media forum through which an author connects to his or her audience.Like a physical platform can be a stage for public speaking, a media platform gives an author a kind of pulpit from which to address- and promote books to- a ready-made potential readership. Like a diving platform, it can springboard a book into the marketplace and create sales momentum at publication. Book Publishers Like Big Platforms Whether the author brings viewers through a TV show or readers through a popular blog, authors with a large platform of one kind or another are appealing to publishers. An author with an established audience assures that booksellers will take notice of the book, that the book will likely get media attention (audience feeds more audience), and that there are likely fans who will immediately buy the book- al l good for the publishing business. For that reason,literary agents, book editors, and publishers look at the size of an authors platform when considering a prospective authors manuscript or proposal. How big should an author platform be? Whether were talking followers or fans or viewers, tens of thousands is okay hundreds of thousands are better, and with a platform that gets millions of eyeballs, a book deal is a slam-dunk. Types of Author Platforms A Popular Blog -Large readership is key for a publisher to take notice. Molly Wizenbergs popular food blog,Orangette, was a platform that helped her sell her first book,A Homemade Life, to a publisher because she had a large readership. Before her book sales gained her recognition, best-selling author Amanda Hocking used her blog to connect with paranormal romance readers, which nurtured their interest in her self-published novels.Author Newsletters -regularly scheduled newsletters with loyal subscribers Speaking Engagements- Speak ing engagements are great platforms because the audience is usually there specifically to hear the speaker/author or to learn about the specific topic and so there is usually a high book-to-audience member sales ratio.Radio Show- Popular radio hosts can sell lots of books.Podcast - With the market increase in audiobooks, podcasts have become quite popular and a number of podcasts have been turned into books.Web Series- how-to, comedic, dramatic or anything else imaginable- some of these attain millions of followers. Social Media Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest- followers numbering in the six- and seven-digits get publishers attention.Television Show - the Holy Grail of platforms is a popular TV show Jon Stewarts platform,The Daily Show, no doubt helped make a bestseller.Duck Dynastyspawned a whole assortment of TV-tie-in books and sales of Mindy Kalings memoirs are no doubt helped by her sitcoms audience first on television, now on the streaming service Hulu.com. Even having a regular guest spot on a television show- such a doing a consumer spot during a news broadcast- raises an authors profile and boosts his or her platform. Books spawned by TV shows dont have to be personal- following the lead of The Sopranos Italian cookbook, Blue Bloods,the CBS show about a family of New York City cops, is launched a cookbook based on the fact that each episode features a Sunday dinner scene with the family. Having a Book Helps Increase an Author Platform Interestingly, the book being published helps to increase the author platform by giving him or her the opportunity to present the book and him/herself in a variety of media.

Why Your Horrible Boss Is Your Greatest Teacher

Why Your Horrible Boss Is Your Greatest Teacher Why Your Horrible Boss Is Your Greatest Teacher A major contributing factor to this situation is that many companies make acritical mistakewhen installing baboes promoting someone into a leadership role purely because of their loyalty to the company and lengthy tenure. Employersthink it is the next logical step, but really, we all know that loyalty and length of stay do not necessarily a good leader make. Other attributes are necessary, attributes likehonesty, communication, and the ability to inspire.Unfortunately, we have to deal with the hard reality that we must answer to leaders who may have no business leading. But believe it or not, beyond the abuse we suffer from these terrible anfhreres, they can actually be our greatest teachers.Here are some valuable lessons you can learn from your horrible boss1. Horrible Ways to Lead and Why They Dont WorkIf you dream of one day being a manager yourself, you dont have to look any further than your horrible boss in order to learn how to be agood manager. Just doexactly theopposite of what they do.Perhaps your horrible boss is a micromanager, or they dictate to and command their teams, rather than inspiring and encouraging them. Your badeanstalt boss may think exhibiting control over their team has a positive effect,in reality, its a very bad idea.Whatever your horrible bosss leading style, it doesnt work and you can learn a lot from that.2. Horrible Ways to Treat People and Why They BackfireAside from being a lousy leader, your horrible boss is probably clueless about how to treat people in general in the workplace. Have you ever done such amazing work that your boss decided to take credit for it? There is no good reason that could ever justify this. Or what about that time you were bed-ridden with the flu for well over a week, and when you finally returned, your boss didnt even ask how you were feeling they only dumped a large project on your desk with a deadline of yesterday?When it comes to working with andmanaging people, a little compassion goes a long way. Showing employees they are cared for helps the companys bottom line. Not exhibiting empathy and humanity, of course, has the opposite effect. As you aspire to move up the ranks in your career, make kindness and compassion your priorities.3. Horrible Ways to Behave and WhyThey Dont Help Your CareerThe office gossip is disliked by many and when the one doing all the gossiping is your boss, yikes Hearing your boss complain or speak negatively of othersis instant confirmation that they probably talk about you behind your back as well, and that they cant be trusted. How valued is a boss that cant be trusted? (Hint not very.)Then there are the work martyrs who burn the midnight oil, pull working weekends, and reply to email on vacation, all so that they can complainbrag about it. However, work martyrs are perceived not as company soldiers, but as ineffective and unproductive.None of this b ad behavior garners your boss any respect, and certainly not any upward movement in their career. Treating both yourself and otherswith respect and setting the standard for reasonable and respectful work behavior will support you in your career progression. Being like your awful boss, on the other hand, wont.When you have to deal with your bad boss daily, just getting through the workday can be difficult enough. But if you have a chance, take a moment to reflect on the lessons that your bosss behavior can teach you. You may find that your horrible bosshas accidentally become the greatest mentor you could ever have.

Speak Up A Guide to Presenting Dissenting Opinions in the Workplace

Speak Up A Guide to Presenting Dissenting Opinions in the Workplace In the late 80s,I became a board member of Portland, Maines politically influential Parkside Neighborhood Association. I welches in my early 20s, single, ambitious, and looking to make a difference and the association was looking for an infusion of younger people reflective of the influx of new residentswho were moving into Maines City by the Sea, as Longfellow affectionately called his birthplace.I knew the associations president, antiquarian book-dealer David Turner a dynamic and driven guy who had a view of the world that he wanted to see come to pass. I liked David, but it was clear he was the voice and vision of the group.In 1990, there was a contested race for the open seat of district attorney in Cumberland County. The race was between two Portland lawyers, David Perkins (D) and Stephanie Anderson (R). Turner hosted two separate meet-and-greet cocktail parties at his home for Perkins and Anderson, and all the board members spent their time asking questions and getting to know the two hopefuls. A few days later, we convened to decide which of the two would get the coveted Parkside Neighborhood Association endorsement.Shortly after the meeting came to order, Turner got up and said (near as I can recall), I think we all know who were going to endorse, so unless anyone disagrees, lets take a vote.His candidate the candidate he wanted Parkside to endorse was Perkins.I had a different opinion and hesitated a moment, hoping someone else would speak up (I was the newest and youngest member, after all) but no one did. So I cleared my throat and said I disagreed, that I thought we should endorse Anderson.I reasoned that, during the cocktail parties, I spoke with and listened to Stephanie Anderson talk about the crime in our area and other issues that I knew were of concern to the board. Anderson had come to our reception prepared and eager to tell us how she p lanned to make the city and our neighborhood a better place to live during this transformative time. When we were done talking with her, I felt like she was someone interested in using the authority of the D.A.s office for our benefit.Perkins, on the other hand, stated without ambiguity that he saw the Cumberland County D.A.s office as a stepping stone to the Blaine House (Maines governors mansion). He didnt want to be district attorney he wanted to be governor. I said I thought we should endorse Andersons commitment to our issues rather than someone who had his eyes on another prize.Turner was taken aback and seemed almost offended that I had shown the temerity to express an opposing view. But because I spoke up, others in the room who had the same opinion also felt empowered to express their support for Anderson. The meeting and decision quickly changeda formality toa brief but lively debate.The vote was taken and Perkins won, narrowly. But my vindication came on Election Day, wh en Anderson went on to win the race.She remains in office today, having been re-elected to the lokalitt in every subsequent election. Mr. Perkinss political ambitions appear to have been tempered by his loss he remains in private law practice.My lesson from that experience is that you dont have to accept the foregone conclusion or the loudest opinion in the room that there is infectious strength in speaking up against a powerful individual.That does not mean that we have license to engage in petty arguments to satisfy our egos, but that, with the right approach and with the confidence of conviction, you should feel able to advocate for a different perspective.Know why you must speak up, be prepared to factually defend your position, be respectful, and be willing to concede defeat with grace and dignity.I have used the lessons of that day to guide me in a quarter-century of professional and personal life though, perhaps I have not used them as often as I should have.And even when m ine is the loudest opinion in the room, I am reminded of the young man who spoke up for himself on that day, and I am grateful when others are bold enough to state their own cases. When Discussing Matters of Professional Opinion, RememberPrepare in advance and have confidence in your approach.Discuss and support your position using facts and reason.Be calm and respectful of others in your manner of speech.Be willing to accept the possibility of defeat with grace and dignity.

5 Reasons Healthcare IT Professionals Switch Jobs

5 Reasons Healthcare IT Professionals Switch Jobs5 Reasons Healthcare IT Professionals Switch JobsHealth IT (HIT) consultants are riding a wave of high demand and increased prestige thanks to federal mandates that have driven hospital spending on information technology projects to record levels.But full-time IT employees in healthcare say they arent quite as happy or engaged as the consultants that they often work with. The relative dissatisfaction of full-time equivalents (FTEs)has many of them considering a job change, according to our recent survey measuring workforce engagement in health IT.Our firm, Healthcare IT Leaders, asked hundreds consultants and FTEs how they felt about their jobs, their pay and other workforce trends. We found significant contrast between the two groups on how they view their work and their levels of satisfaction.Most telling 43 percent of HIT consultants told us they were very satisfied with their current role, compared to only 19 percent of full-time e mployees. As a benchmark, a recent LinkedIn survey of fully-employed workers in 26 countries found that 27 percent were very satisfied.Consultants, mora than FTEs, reported that their jobs were challenging and meaningful, which correlated to their overall satisfaction. Pay differentials between consultants and FTEs were also evident in the survey. Forty percent of consultants said they were very satisfied with their current pay while only 18 percent of FTEs said the same.A 2013 Towers-Watson survey suggests that nearly half of IT employees at a hospital would like to work for their current employer until retirement. But the reality of todays job market is one of greater volatility, with most HIT workers open to new opportunities under certain circumstances.In our survey only 12 percent of FTEs said they were completely satisfied with their present job and would not currently consider a new one. Twenty-four percent said they were actively looking for a new job, 32 percent said they w ere occasionally looking, and 32 percent said they were not looking but were open to a new job.5 Reasons HIT Employees Will LeaveWhat would make an HIT employee switch jobs? Hiring managers may not want to hear this, but the most common answer is more money. Our respondents top five reasons for considering a job switch are below Better compensation (74 percent) Opportunities for advancement (56 percent) Improved work/life balance (44 percent) More learning opportunities (36 percent) Better benefits (35 percent)The attraction of higher pay may lure some employees into consulting careers. We asked FTEs if they were considering a switch to become a consultant within the next year, and 13 percent said it was very likely that they would switch to consulting while 22 percent said it was somewhat likely.Implications for EmployersFor managers charged with recruitment and retention, its important to appreciate the focus that HIT employees have on practical requirements, such as com pensation and advancement opportunities.Healthcare employers with misconceptions about what their employees value will find it harder to hire and retain critical IT talent.Employers should also understand that their best employees are at risk to leave. In fact, 58 percent of FTEs said they had looked at a job listing at another company in the past month.Bosses should keep their teams engaged and well-compensated and also strive to understand the personal motivators of the individuals they hope to retain.Alex Gramling is the chief marketing officer at Healthcare IT Leaders, a North American healthcare IT consultancy and recruitment firm matching HIT professionals to employers at leading hospitals and health systems.

This is the generation that has canceled the most credit cards

This is the generation that has canceled the fruchtwein leistungspunkt cardsThis is the generation that has canceled the most credit cardsNearly 200 million Americans owned a credit card in 2018 and an alarmingly number of credit card owners have canceled at least one in their life.A new study by Bankrate surveyed more than 2,500 adults - including 2,301 credit card owners - to find out how many Americans have canceled their charge cards and whether they knew about the consequences with doing so.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreThe survey found that 61% of American cardholders have axed at least one credit card. Thirty-seven percent of those cardholders claimed to have canceled more than one card.Baby Boomers were reported as being the generation canceling the most with 71% saying theyve canceled at least one card. Half of the Millennial cardholders have also cut up at least on e card.The reasoning behind cardholders canceling cards varies. 40% of participants said they had paid off the cards debt and it was no longer needed while just over a third claimed the interest rate was too high.But canceling a card comes with consequences. While 12% said they canceled because they said it would help their credit score, thats notlage the case at all. It decreases your credit score, which 42% of participants correctly knew.You should keep old accounts open to boost your credit score because scoring algorithms look favorably upon long-standing accounts and more available credit, said Ted Rossman, an industry analyst at Bankrate.Millennials were more likely than any other generation to close an account based on the rewards system, with a quarter reporting doing so.Millennials often love to travel but dont have a lot of disposable income, so credit card rewards are a way for them to fund amazing trips at a much lower cost, Credit card analyst Ted Rossman told Ladders.A nother factor that scared cardholders was overspending and worrying about debt (18%) which has been found as the most common problem for zugnglich shoppers.Online shopping and blowing your budgetA new survey by CouponFollow polled nearly 2,000 consumers in the US and examined the current climate of online shopping through Americans credit card habits.When it comes to online shopping consumers like to splurge on clothing, spending between $100 to $250 (29%) in a single session. Nearly half claimed to have blown their budget through online shopping. Particularly, it was Millennials who were found to shop and spend the most online.Three in 10 Millennials place an online order at least weekly, according to the survey, which was higher compared to all American consumers. Nearly a fourth of Millennials claimed to purchase something online while they were drunk in the past six months.But when it comes to blowing their budget, Millennials lead the pack. They were found most likely to bust t heir budget, with over half claiming to do so in the past six months. Comparing Millennials spending habits to Baby Boomers (21%) doesnt even appear comparable. By breaking the bank, a third of Millennials have racked up more than $1,000 in credit card debt from online shopping, the most of any other age bracket.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people
