Young employees have different attitudes to cyber crime

If you employ anyone aged between 16 and 19, you need to pay special attention to the cyber security training you’re giving your team.


A new study has revealed that a host of worrying online behavior has become almost normalized among many young people. And much of this activity is illegal.
 
We’re not talking serious cyber crime such as ransomware attacks or stealing data. 
 
But one in three 16 to 19-year-olds have admitted to digital piracy; and a quarter have tracked or trolled someone online.
 
Most of these behaviors may not directly affect your business. But some are so commonplacethat too many young people view them as a part of everyday life.
 
That’s not something you want them bringing to work.
 
Casual software piracy or illegal downloads on devices used for work could open the door to a massive security breach.
 
The answer is simple: Hold cyber security training for all your employees on a regular basis. 
 
This training should:
 
• Highlight the impact of bad online behavior and potential for security breaches
• Help everyone understand how this kind of activity can harm people – and your business
• Make everyone aware of the scams and attacks that your business is vulnerable to, as well as the part they play in keeping everyone protected
• Make the consequences clear for anyone found to be engaging in this behavior 
 
If this is something you need some expert help with, it’s what we do. Get in touch.

Are your younger employees experiencing ‘tech shame’?

It's a common misconception that all younger employees are tech-savvy, but recent studies have revealed that many Gen Z and Millennial workers struggle with "tech shame" in the workplace.
They may be proficient in using social media apps, but they lack the necessary skills to adapt to the digital demands of the office.

A recent study found that one in five employees aged 18-29 feel judged when they encounter technical issues at work, compared to just one in 25 employees aged 40 or over, highlighting the importance of providing better training for all employees, not just the younger generation. In addition, with many Gen Z workers starting their careers during the pandemic, it is essential to provide them with the skills needed to navigate a digital working environment, especially if they're working remotely or in a hybrid role.

Another solution to this problem is to ensure that your team has access to the right tools and devices. Younger workers may have less disposable income to spend on home office equipment and may be hesitant to speak up if they struggle. Employers should check in with their employees, especially if they're working remotely, to ensure they have the necessary resources to be productive and confident in their work.

If your company faces the issue of "tech shame" among its employees, it's crucial to address it head-on. Providing better training, sourcing the right tools, and checking in with employees can significantly impact employee engagement, productivity, and confidence. If you need any advice or assistance, we're here to help. Just get in touch.
