Standardise or bespoke
Have you ever attended a training session and thought “Why am I being taught something I don’t use” or “My team doesn’t work like this”? These questions sit at the back of Beccy Scobell’s mind when she prepares for training sessions. In this blog Beccy explores the benefits of standardised versus bespoke training.
The human side of Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation
Although we have helped other organisations through the Cyber Essentials accreditations and have held the Plus accreditation ourselves for many years, our latest renewal was the first time that Chris Winterburn had been involved. Here are Chris’s tips and pointers following his experience.
The great brain drain
For several decades there has been concern and a lot of commentary about the loss of ‘graduate talent’ from the UK workforce, as highly educated and skilled individuals decide to move overseas to pursue their careers. David Baskerville discusses this further and also looks at what can be done to reverse the trend.
Top Tip
Each week Beccy Scobell shares a weekly tip via video.
This week Beccy looks at right-click shortcuts in Outlook.
You can view all videos in the series on our YouTube channel.
