Employee Engagement Strategies

Friendly Reminder : 🚨Awareness Training is Not Enough!🚨 Many companies invest heavily in cybersecurity awareness training, but if the organizational culture doesn't prioritize security or provide continuous education, these efforts may fall short. Cybersecurity isn't just about checking a box. It's about embedding security into the very fabric of our organizational culture. When security becomes a core value, it influences every decision, behavior, and practice within the company. 🔒 Key Points to Consider: 1. Beyond Training Sessions: Awareness training shouldn't be a one-time event. It requires continuous education and engagement to keep employees vigilant and informed about evolving threats. 2. Culture is Key: A strong security culture means that every employee, from the C-suite to the entry-level, understands the importance of cybersecurity and acts accordingly. It’s about creating an environment where security is everyone’s responsibility. 3. Practical Application: Employees should not only learn about cybersecurity in theory but also practice it in their daily activities. Real-world scenarios and hands-on experiences can reinforce the training material. 4. Leadership Involvement: Leadership must champion cybersecurity initiatives and lead by example. When leaders prioritize security, it sets a precedent for the rest of the organization. 5. Ongoing Communication: Keep the conversation about cybersecurity alive. Regular updates, reminders, and open discussions can help maintain a high level of awareness and preparedness. Let’s move beyond the checkbox mentality and build a robust cybersecurity culture that truly protects our organizations. What are your thoughts? How do you integrate cybersecurity into your company’s culture?

Yesterday my daughter made an observation that’s relevant to all mid-market CISOs. While speaking to her on voice call, my father-in-law struggled to switch the WhatsApp call to video to show their dog’s antics. He asked my mother-in-law to help. While on the call, my mother-in-law needed to transfer money via UPI to someone. So they had to cut the call - because my father-in-law needed to step in! My daughter came to me with this question: Two people. Same house. Same everyday things. Yet their skill levels are so different. Now, imagine this inside a company with hundreds or thousands of employees. - Some struggle to identify phishing emails - Some don’t understand the risk of weak passwords - Some click on malicious links without a second thought - Some approve payment requests based on text messages - Some download & install unauthorized software - Some share sensitive information over email without realizing - Some upload company secrets into ChatGPT for projects Yet, many CISOs run just 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙬𝙤 cyber awareness simulations per year & think it’s enough. It’s not. Cyber awareness needs to be continuous, personalized & measurable. A strong cyber awareness program should: 𝟭) 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀 Phishing, smishing, vishing, and deepfake attacks that mimic what attackers actually do. 𝟮) 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘀 A finance executive needs different training than a new intern. 𝟯) 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 Gamification, role-based training, and bite-sized learning improve retention. 𝟰) 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 & 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿 Identify employees who need extra training instead of treating everyone the same. 𝟱) 𝗥𝘂𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 Cyber threats evolve daily; training should too. 𝟲) 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗻 Department-wise reports of people & the potential learning gaps Awareness is not running a simulation & calling it a day. It's the actions & the next steps: - for improvement - knowing the awareness posture of everyone - for building a culture where employees become security assets If you’re a CISO evaluating solutions that train employees further based on their actual responses, DM me. My team works with a platform designed to make cyber awareness practical, engaging & effective. -- Hi, I’m Rajeev Mamidanna. I help mid-market CISOs strengthen their Cyber Immunity.

In the U.S. alone, cybercrime caused $16 billion in damages in 2024 - a 33% increase from the year before. And most of these breaches weren’t due to complex hacks or advanced malware. They happened because of simple human errors: misconfigured systems, unsecured devices, careless behavior, or being tricked by a convincing phishing email. That’s why the human factor is often the weakest link in cybersecurity, but also where the biggest gains can be made. So how do we build a human-centered security culture? It’s about shaping behavior and habits. A proven approach is Neidert’s Core Motives Model, which helps leaders guide employees toward secure behavior through three stages: 🔹 Connect – Build trust and rapport. People follow leaders they like and feel connected to. Gamified training sessions, team bonding, and small acts of reciprocity go a long way. 🔹 Reduce Uncertainty – Show credibility and social proof. When senior leaders take part in security efforts, or when teams see peers taking security seriously, they’re more likely to follow suit. 🔹 Inspire Action – Reinforce commitments. Use nudges, timely reminders, and even friendly competitions to encourage continuous attention to cybersecurity practices. A collective mindset where everyone feels responsible for protecting company assets, and each other. Security doesn’t live in IT alone. It lives in everyone’s daily choices.

Here's how to make your people more motivated — without paying more. Most companies think motivation = more money. But what if I told you that how you pay people matters more than how much? Employees aren’t just disengaging because they want higher salaries. They’re disengaging because they see unfair pay practices. Two people doing the same job, yet one earns significantly more. • Lack of clarity on how pay decisions are made. • Bonuses that feel random, not earned. That’s where double demotivation theory kicks in. Double demotivation theory says there are two ways pay can make employees disengage: 1. People who believe they’re earning less than they should lose motivation. That's the obvious one, here's the kicker. 2. People who are being paid more compared to their peers ALSO lose motivation. This isn’t just about more money. It’s about trust. If people don’t trust the system, no amount of raises or perks will keep them engaged. Fixing motivation doesn’t start with throwing more money at people. It starts with paying fairly. Follow these steps: • Have a clear, structured approach to pay.  • Make sure employees understand how salaries are set and why. • Be transparent. Even if you don’t share every number, explain how decisions are made. • Benchmark pay regularly. Ensure internal pay aligns with market rates — and that pay gaps aren’t eroding trust. Motivation doesn’t just come from bigger pay checks. It comes from people knowing they’re being treated fairly. TL;DR — People aren’t just demotivated by being underpaid, they’re demotivated when they see others getting underpaid. Fair pay builds trust, and trust drives motivation. What’s one thing companies could do today to make their pay practices feel more fair?

"Quiet cracking" is bleeding the economy of $8.9T annually. That's the impact of global employee disengagement. According to Gallup, 62% of us feel disconnected, undervalued, and insecure at work. You know about quiet quitting. This isn't that. Quiet cracking (a term coined by TalentLMS) looks like good performance, but there's an insidious creep of struggling and disengagement. This is caused by: ⛔️ Lack of recognition and appreciation for effort ⛔️ Insufficient training, learning, and development opportunities ⛔️ Managers who fail to connect or provide support ⛔️ Unmanageable workload and unclear responsibilities ⛔️ Job insecurity due to a volatile economy, technological changes, or organizational restructuring Even worse? Manager burnout has been identified as the primary driver. Global manager engagement dropped from 30% to 27% in 2025, with even steeper declines among young managers and women managers (Gallup). I'm hearing about this from my clients. The stories of neglect combined with the challenges of making a job change can make even the most talented professionals feel stuck and beyond frustrated. Companies that want to attract top talent and weather the perfect storm of economic challenges we're facing need to address this issue. It's not going to be an easy fix, but here are some places to start: 💜Build Manager Sensitivity ↳ Train managers to spot the issue in themselves and others 🧠Create Psychological Safety ↳ Establish norms that allow people to be vulnerable 🏆Recognize Regularly ↳ Celebrate small achievements and acknowledge effort 🛠️Faciliate Skill-Building ↳ Offer cross-training and support ongoing learning 🤝Strengthen Reporting Relationships ↳ Schedule regular 1:1 meetings and chat informally ⚖️Reset Expectations ↳ Be open to adjusting workloads and advocate for more help As I read this list, I can hear some of you saying "Sure. Easier said than done." You're not wrong. In fact, I'm feeling a bit cynical myself about it if I'm honest. These are hard changes to make. Still... Worse would be ignoring the signs and hoping it will go away. It won't. The leaders who commit to tackling this issue will reap the benefits. Those who don't will soon see the impact on the bottom line, if they are not already. Are you seeing quiet cracking in the workplace? What would be your first step to fix it? 🎉You've got this and I've got you!🎉 ♻️ Repost to people struggling at work 🔔 Follow Sarah Baker Andrus for more career strategies 📌Want job search support?

“I have been taking all the efforts on my team members for keeping them satisfied, but despite this- they resign and leave.  I feel frustrated because the moment I feel they are almost ready for a critical project, they put in their resignation. I feel frustrated and helpless! Deepak was sharing this experience while attending my leadership workshop recently.  In my experience there are very few leaders who focus on truly 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲. Here are 6 ways to create a great sense of belongingness and strengthening your trust so that they choose to contribute and grow with you. 📌 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤-𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲- A leader I have known has created a practice where he leaves the office on time and does not celebrate people who stay late. He also is a fitness person, so he role models this behavior and encourages others to follow too. 📌 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞- Benefits such as clear and frequent communication on company happenings, individual and department direction, and big-picture company direction make all the difference in employee happiness. 📌 𝐁𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭- After a recent companywide engagement survey, we chose to share our results with all employees. We not only communicated our top areas of success but also our areas for improvement and how we planned to address them moving forward. Transparent communication and a simple acknowledgment that we heard you can go a long way. 📌𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬- Planning career conversations once in a quarter at least not only helps them to bridge the gap between their aspirations and abilities but also creates a sense of belongingness. 📌 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧- Employee recognition can be attained in a variety of ways, and team leaders have the opportunity to lean on their creative side. Peer-to-peer recognition programs, value-based recognition (identifying value champions), team outings and get -togethers, personalized thank-you notes and recognition boards. Timely appreciation goes a long way in not only boosting the self-esteem of the individual but also encourages him/her to repeat that behavior. 📌 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐬- You can offer an extra level of life insurance or disability insurance for employees to protect their incomes. Other ancillary benefits, such as dental, optical [and] wellness, are all well received by employees. And gym memberships and transit benefits are great perks to keep employees happy and healthy. It is important to [provide] higher benefits, so your employees know that you truly care about them and their families. If you have similar concerns like Deepak, send me a DM. I will be happy to work with you. #MeetaMeraki           #Leadershippractices

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗟𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝘆 👇 Only 30% of employees are engaged? That’s not a statistic – it’s a leadership failure. After advising 100+ companies, I’ve found most "engagement strategies" miss the mark completely. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵... Free pizza Fridays don’t fix disengagement. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀 1️⃣ 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 Most managers give feedback like bad weather reports – unpredictable and unpleasant. 𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱... 1 observed behaviour 1 business impact 1 suggestion (No "constructive criticism" nonsense) 2️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 "Good job" emails go straight to trash. Specificity is currency: "Your solution on X saved us Y hours/Z dollars" = 💎 3️⃣ 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 The #1 engagement killer? "All-hands" meetings where leadership talks 90% of the time. Flip the script – make it 70% Q&A. 4️⃣ 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝘀 Stop assigning tasks. Start curating growth opportunities: "This project will stretch your X skill – how can I support you?" 5️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 Emotional intelligence isn’t soft – it’s your retention strategy. 📍 Pro tip: Learn how each team member prefers to be recognised. 6️⃣ 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 Development opportunities" ≠ promotions. Micro-learning (15 mins/day) outperforms courses 3:1 for engagement. The brutal reality? 🔴 Disengaged teams bleed 34% of payroll in lost productivity 🟢 Teams with these habits see 59% less turnover But here’s the good news! You don’t need HR initiatives. Just one committed leader 🤝 So I’ll ask what your last survey didn’t... What’s one "engagement tactic" your company uses that actually makes people roll their eyes? 🙄

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝘀 💡 If there's one thing that today’s workforce is clear about, it's this: 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆. Sure, paychecks matter, but there’s so much more that fuels their drive—𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀.

𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗹𝘆: Ensure recognition happens in front of the whole team—whether through an announcement in meetings or on your internal channels. It makes a world of difference when people know their contributions are seen by others. 🎉 𝟯. 𝗧𝗶𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀: Make recognition part of reaching important company goals. Whether it's a team celebration or personal shout-outs, make it known that success is valued. 𝟰. 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Sometimes the best recognition comes from colleagues. Encourage a culture where teammates can recognize each other for their efforts and contributions. 𝟱. 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀: Understand that results take time. Consistent effort should be recognized too! At Recex, these principles have led to happier teams and more engaged employees.

130 employees. 1 IT security person. A phishing attack. No, this isn't a horror movie. It's a Tuesday at a fast-growing fintech startup. When they reached out, they were in crisis mode. One overworked security professional was trying to protect an entire company from phishing attacks. Hiring a CISO would cost $250K+ annually. Complex security tools would take months to implement. We stepped in. Within 48 hours, we transformed their employees into active defenders. When someone clicked a simulated phishing email, they received immediate, personalized training. The math is simple: effective training = stronger security culture = fewer breaches. Within 90 days, their click-through rate on phishing attempts dropped by 87%. Likely, this story has a happy ending. The lesson? Stop seeing security training as compliance. Start seeing it as your competitive advantage. --------------------------------------------------- I'm Mary, making cybersecurity training accessible and engaging for everyone.
