Effective Workplace Education is Built Around Incentives How Companies Can Personalize Cybersecurity Awareness Training By Asaf Kotsel, CEO, Dcoya The key to a successful workplace education platform is providing compelling behavioral incentives that keep employees engaged and help them apply what they learn. Too many employers treat workplace education as a box to check – they want to say the company has programs in place, but they aren’t willing to put in the necessary work to ensure that those programs are effective. There are many ways companies can construct incentives that will educate employees and drive healthy behavioral change. For example, they can draw a link between educational programs and professional advancement. Over the past several years, employees have become increasingly focused on talent mobility and educational opportunities that will allow them to advance their careers. It’s also crucial to provide engaging and personalized educational content that maintains employees’ attention and leads to long-term information retention. Companies can’t check the training box if employees aren’t actually Cyber Defense eMagazine – August 2023 Edition 68 Copyright © 2023, Cyber Defense Magazine. All rights reserved worldwide.
learning, and employees won’t benefit from educational programs that don’t provide information they can retrieve and deploy in the real world. When companies give employees convincing reasons to learn and keep them engaged as they do so, they won’t just build a healthier workforce – they will also secure positive learning outcomes. When it comes to cybersecurity awareness training, this means employees will be equipped to keep the company safe from cyberattacks that can have devastating operational, financial, and reputational consequences. But no matter what you’re training employees to do, the process is all about finding the right incentives. Meeting the demand for professional development Employees recognize that workplace education is necessary to help them compete in an increasingly skills-based and global job market. A remarkable 77 percent of employees say they’re ready to learn new skills or completely retrain, while almost three-quarters say training is a matter of personal responsibility. It’s no surprise that the top action employers are taking to address skills and labor shortages is upskilling workers – a goal that’s even more important when there are two open jobs for every candidate who’s actively seeking work. Employees want workplace education, but training content can’t be generic – it has to be relevant to their unique responsibilities, skill sets, and professional aspirations. A critical aspect of cybersecurity awareness training is real-world applicability. Employees have to understand exactly why they’re learning about common cyberattacks such as phishing – it’s extremely likely that they will encounter one of these attacks at some point, and they need to know what the red flags are and how to react. Despite persistent inflation, the possibility of a recession, and other economic woes, the labor market remains strong. Companies are struggling to fill skills gaps, and they’re increasingly turning to workplace education to build a more productive and loyal workforce. When companies excel at talent mobility, they retain employees for nearly twice as long as companies that struggle with it. Considering the role of workplace education in facilitating mobility, companies will rely on it even more heavily in the coming years. Give employees a reason to keep paying attention Any professional can tell you horror stories about sitting through exhausting, repetitive, and dull training content at some point in their lives. This content isn’t designed to keep employees engaged, help them retain what they learn, or secure sustainable behavioral change – it only exists as a superficial form of due diligence. Instead of meeting employees’ demands for professional development and building a better-educated workforce, too much workplace training alienates and frustrates employees. One of the most reliable ways to keep employees engaged and help them fully absorb the information they learn is to personalize their educational content. This means content should be customized on the basis of each employee’s individual abilities, personality traits, and learning style. Personalized education offers several advantages: it reinforces learners’ strengths while identifying and addressing their Cyber Defense eMagazine – August 2023 Edition 69 Copyright © 2023, Cyber Defense Magazine.
