But IT departments seem to be more hesitant.
Employee engagement surveys are a very important and valuable way to get information. But with plenty of assumptions and biases from leaders and employees alike, they can’t be the single source. You need real data from your business processes to back up your plans for improving employee engagement.
Your people just want easy and effective ways to do their jobs. A security culture can turn security into a benefit - not just a necessity. AI can help you build this culture, but how do you get your employees to care?
Technology is changing so quickly. Since joining Microsoft four years ago, I’ve seen it grown so much – not just in business, either.
