Defense By Design

Just a quick reminder as we head into a weekend of parades and parties. This is about #reputationmanagement both individually and commercially. For #hrmanagers #hrdirectors #riskmanagers #publicrelations professionals as well as #businessowners and #csuite executives, this is a word and video worthwhile to pass along (share) with those in your employ. Make no mistake, what they do off-the-clock, but "caught on camera" can definitely impact your business operations and reputation. I know someone who can help. #defensebydesign #stpatricksday

If you are a #hrmanager #riskmanager #propertymanager #buildingmanager #facilitiesmanager #itmanager or similar overseeing people, operations, data, money or similar, the event below is for you.

Yes, there is a "theme" to these videos this week prior to St. Patrick's Day. And the reason being, we "assume" people today know better. They don't! I would encourage any #hrdirector #hrmanager #riskmanager #businessowner or those who oversee people at their place of business to share, if not this video, this *message* with your staff. It is not that they need the reminder -- they need the instruction -- as my guess is they have never been *told* to begin with what potential consequences could be to such bad behaviors, DUI's, or worse could have on their employment. You cannot remind someone of something they have not been instructed on to begin with, can you? There's an old saying in #businessmanagement, "do not EXPECT what you do not INSPECT." On this and many other related topics, I know someone who can help, whether in-person or via online courses for #employeetraining #stafftraining. You guessed it. #defensebydesign

'Tis the season -- for warnings! For those #hrmanagers #hrdirectors #salesmanagers or any other #businessowners #businessmanagers out there who wish to keep your people *OUT* of the proverbial cross-hairs of the media or social media, this is a video below worth sharing as a PSA (Public Service Announcement) and I'll be doing several more over the next few days. Nothing escapes the camera today, but do your people really understand this? REALLY?! It might be worth a reminder as we head into the weekend of St. Patrick's Day parades, parties and more. From bad social behaviors to potential DUIs, there are a number of potential concerns involved. As I remind my audiences, "God forgives, the devil may forget, but social media doesn't do EITHER!" Heads-up and cameras DOWN this weekend! GOOD "LUCK!" #defensebydesign #reputationmanagement #riskmanagement

One of the things we will be discussing at our *FREE* open events on March 20 with SecurIT360 and Alterity also presenting is the dynamic of "reputation management." Why? Because if anything goes sideways with your physical, data, cyber, etc. security your company's reputation is now on the line. Likewise if a naive staff member foolishly posts something online or gets caught doing something that ends up online, this too can often impact their employer, thus the company's reputation. For #hrmanagers #riskmanagers #propertymanagers #buildingmanagers #itmanagers #facilitymanagers as well as #businessowners and #csuite executives seeking to mitigate such #reputationalrisk to your company, we invite you to join us either in the morning or afternoon session (repeated) next Wednesday in Coppell at the Insperity Regional Service Center.

I'll be speaking the first of next month in the Austin area for the Texas Assisted Living Association conference. For those #propertymanagers #facilitymanagers #buildingmanagers #hrmanagers and #riskmanagers associated with this industry, I look forward to seeing you there. Yours is not an unfamiliar industry to me given the ongoing physical, data and reputational risks facing your properties, operations, staff and residents. I know someone who can help. #defensebydesign #assistedliving #assistedlivingassociation Residential Assisted Living National Association

Following the theme of "luck" this week prior to St. Patrick's Day, I offer the thought below as safety/security should never be left to "luck."

We invite #hrmanagement #riskmanagement #propertymanagement #buildingmanagement #facilitymanagement #itmanagement as well as #businessowners and #csuite executives to join us as we address various physical, data, cyber, AI and reputational risks facing businesses today as well as points of both mitigation and documentation addressing the same.
