Cyber-Crime is Scary and Expensive
Business owners today understand the tremendous benefits of using the internet, computers, and technology in their everyday operations. Unfortunately, all that technology can open the door to some very serious cyber threats. Every business that is "plugged in" is a target for criminals to steal, spy, and cause major disruption.
Cyber threats can be a major blow to a company's financial and operational well-being. They can also expose businesses to non-criminal risks, such as privacy requirements, damage to technology assets, and liability for damages caused by inadvertent injury to others. These cyber risks can be just as severe as the typical property, liability, business, auto, and workers compensation exposures.

Tips to Handle Conflict in the Workplace
No matter where you work there is bound to be someone at some time that you just have trouble getting along with no matter what you try. It is a fact of life that often different personalities will clash with each other or you will have different ideas on the way a job should be handled.
Handling conflict in the workplace is a topic that should be covered at least once for all employees. It is important to be informed on how you should handle conflict in the workplace.
Three easy rules to remember:
- Keep your head. This means try not to lose control during a conflict. You should never yell or become physical with a co-worker. Stay as calm as possible and try to talk out the problem.
- Define the problem. The only way to resolve an issue is to know what the problem really is. Is the person truly mad or upset for the reason you believe or are there other issues that are also a factor? Many people have a hard time separating work and home life. This often leads to home issues making a problem for them in the workplace.
- Take responsibility. While you may feel it is not your fault the conflict has occurred, that simply is not true. Each person involved is there because their actions had some type of consequences that added to the conflict. Taking responsibility for your wrong doings will help others step up and admit their faults as well.
