What is marketing? Who even knows? All we know is that it’s something you need in business and has something to do with making money. Probably. Marketing is all about relaying your message to your customer in a way that’s fun and easy for them to understand without it getting into all googly gook and everything else.
So, we all make mistakes. What we’re going to be talking about today is maybe something a bit more important than just dialling the wrong number, and that is hiring the wrong person. If you’ve experienced the effects of a poor hire, you know what I’m talking about. It’s a terrible feeling. You grab them on, you already go through all the interviewing process, you’ve gone through Seek, you’ve got 200 resumes that you’ve looked through. You’re resumed out. You could write a book on reading resumes, and no one would read it because it’s boring! But you’ve got there. You’ve gone through the process of hiring and interviewing, and you’ve got the person in front of you, or hired remotely, depending on how your business is set up. And you’ve decided that they are the best person. Then they just don’t seem to work the way they interviewed. They’re obviously really good at selling themselves, but shithouse at performing and bringing things to the table.

What Qualities Must IT Support Companies Possess?Having your own business in Australia or anywhere around the globe requires you to familiarise yourself with the many types of business tools and processes that you can take advantage of. Having the right set of business solutions in place can help you stay ahead of the game in the market you are in. This is also why IT support services have become very important. But how do you choose the right IT team to work with?
Business owners in Australia should have a clear understanding of the difference between data security and data privacy so they can come up with a good network security plan. For many, the distinctions between these two terms may not be clear. Data security is the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and services, while data privacy involves identifying the bounds of who and what actions can be done with certain information. Data may be secure but not private at all.
You might have Microsoft Office 365, and that’s awesome. However, Office 365 doesn’t have any backups. That’s right! Think about that for a moment. They have infrastructure backup and uptime guarantees so that you know that the systems are reliable, but if you go and delete something, you won’t necessarily have any backup in those infrastructures.
The Hidden Cost of Being Frugal

Just walking around in Mandalay Bay at the moment and the thought really… Vegas is a place for indulgence, where you can enjoy the feeling of spending money. And although I recommend everyone is sensible with their money, being too tight can have its hidden costs.
A little while ago, I started thinking about how far the world has come and going back into the days of my first job (Yep. Many, many moons ago at Jaycar). I was thinking about how many people paid and their PIN number was on the back of their credit card or on the back of their key card. I thought, oh my goodness, that’s not even obscurity. That’s not security at all. You might as well use a chisel to lock your door. It doesn’t make any sense.
Due to the increasing number of cyber-attacks such as credential stuffing and malware, there is no reason for any company in Australia to ignore the importance of network penetration testing. Otherwise known as ethical hacking, penetration testing involves routine inspection of computer and network systems. Using this method, companies can discover any IT infrastructure vulnerabilities that cybercriminals could exploit.
Hardly a day goes by without a cyberattack making it to the Australian news. The most recent incident involved Canva, an Australian-founded graphic design website. A hacker group has taken responsibility for the attack that affected as many as 139 million users. While the company is attempting to rectify the situation by working with law enforcement officers, it seems the damage has already been done. Social media users are calling out the company for their too-little-too-late approach.
Why do we get sent spam? Why is that a thing? Why is it still a thing? It’s annoying. Here’s the reason why you receive junk mail
In the traditional sense, engagement is when you find someone and you get along so well you decide you’re going to spend the rest of your life with him or her, and so you decided to become engaged. Employee engagement is no different. If you want to know some drivers of employee engagement, this episode is for you.
A lot of Australian organisations now rely on Web 2.0 development, and manual programming is rarely practised these days. If you’re using Joomla, a popular content management system (CMS), to publish your website’s frontend, you’ll find that it’s still imperfect but it’s better than other CMSs. But like websites built using other systems, you need to make sure your Joomla site is secure. Here are easy ways to protect your Joomla website.

Discover how incorporating technology can enhance engagement, knowledge retention, and overall training effectiveness, leading to empowered and skilled employees who drive business success. (more…)
What are the qualities of a great leader, you ask? Well, this is my opinion. There are lots of things people go on about. Who’s a leader? Are you a leader? We all need to be a leader, everyone needs to be a leader, and that’s probably good. Everyone should be able to be there and collaborate with their peers, their staff members, and everyone. You shouldn’t just be a leader in one area; you should be a leader across all areas. You should be a leader in your life, a leader with your wife, a leader with your kids, but probably not a leader when you get in strife, that wouldn’t work. But, a leader is just someone who people look up to, and that’s what you’ve just got to remember. It doesn’t mean what everyone thinks it means. I couldn’t find a leader on the topic of being a leader. I had to take from my own personal experience.
You know it’s important to have a great website, and it’s important to have a website that loads quickly, and I’ve chanted on and ranted on about this for ages.
