If you’re striving for excellence in your data protection work then don’t accept mediocrity. This is especially true for employee engagement activities where box-ticking often prevails.

If you’re striving for excellence in your data protection work then don’t accept mediocrity. This is especially true for employee engagement activities where box-ticking often prevails. Data protection is about people and as a leader you need to build passion among your employees so they have the right mindset, knowledge and skills to live up to everything written in your policies. Generic eLearning is not effective. You need to meet employees in their daily context outlining actionable steps.

In DataGuidance’s latest issue of Data Protection Leader - published yesterday - I offer some from-the-heart tips to avoid trivialising employee engagement. You can find my contribution on pages 20-23. Download the issue from the resources section on DataGuidance’s website.

Many thanks to Alexis Kateifides for inviting me to contribute.
