Respect! Code of Culture,: You Cannot– Buy It, Sell It, Steal It, Transfer It… It Must Be Earned!

by Bizshifts-Trends

'R' is for RESPECT! There's an old saying among business leaders: "Take care of your people and they will take care of you." Business strength lies in its people... For the business to work properly there must be a bond between leaders and those being led. A bond that rests not on authority alone-- but on professionalism, good will, and above all 'mutual respect': The chain of command must respect employees, and the employees must respect the chain of command... An easy way to think about it is; the Golden Rule-- treating people (e.g.; managers, co-workers, customers...) exactly the way you wish to be treated...

According to Melanie Sklarz; respect seems like simple concept; but it's not defined the same way by everyone, and it's certainly not practiced by everyone in the same manner, either... people often describe 'respect' in terms of how they feel, rather than how they are treated... So, What is respect? For some, respect is positive feeling of admiration or deference for a person or entity, e.g.; culture, or religion, or race... For others, respect can be a specific feeling for the actual qualities that a person possesses, e.g.; "You have great respect for their judgment"... Respect can be both given and received; and you know when you have it, and you know when you don't...

 

According to Christine Porath and Tony Schwartz; for leaders to get desired commitment and engagement from-- managers, employees, customers... they must show: Respect! In fact, no other leader's behavior has more effect on people then being treated with respect. Leaders must keep in mind that respect is different, for different people; it's all in the eyes of the beholder, and respect is directly tied to how the leader makes that person feel... It's important to understand that behavioral norms vary by-- culture, generation, gender... as well as, industry and organization... Research shows that people are less likely to buy from a company when an employee or manager is perceived to lack respect, whether it's directed at them or at other employees. Witnessing just one short negative interaction can lead customers to generalize about other employees, the organization, and even the brand... So, what are leaders supposed to do? First and foremost, they must promote a culture of respect in their organization...

In the article Is Lack of Respect Holding Your Business Back? by Kuljit Kaur writes: Over 50% of employees aren't regularly shown respect from their managers, according to a survey by Tony Schwartz and Christine Porath with the Harvard Business Review; the survey based on a study of nearly 20,000 employees around the world; found that when managers and leaders treat employees with respect they are more engaged: Yet it found that when 54% did not get 'respect' their behavior was less engaged, less focused, less productive, and less likely to contribute to business performance... However, when employees were respected by their managers and leaders they reported better health and well-being, more trust and safety, greater enjoyment and satisfaction with their jobs, greater focus and prioritization, more meaning and significance, more employee loyalty... What is interesting is that the survey found that being treated with respect was more important to employees than having a leader communicate an inspiring vision, or other motivational factors...

Hence, lessons learned from the survey was that-- when employees feel respected by their manager, and each other; and when managers feel respected by their employees, and each other ; this 'mutual respect' encourages a healthy and harmonious workplace... It encourages an atmosphere of-- collaboration, communication, co-operation... Quite simply, things get done-- more quickly, more smoothly... Hence, when workplaces have cultures that fosters respect they are --more productive, better customer service, better quality, improved profitability... Also, when employees feel respected by their manager, and vis-versa; there is less toxicity in the workplace... whereas, workplaces with cultures of disrespect become dysfunctional...

In the article Showing Respect in the Workplace by Constance Woloschuk writes: No matter which dictionary is used, the word 'respect,' both as a noun and a verb, is defined and described with words, such as; 'esteem', 'show high regard for', 'honor'... This kind of respect is demonstrated in workplaces by treating everyone with courtesy, dignity, and without prejudice or discrimination... The familiar concept of the Golden Rule that is found in many cultures is always effective: It's simply; "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"... Hence, whether you management or employee, everyone can help develop a culture of respect by following a few simple guidelines:

·         Management Showing Respect for Employees in the Workplace: Managers are in unique positions with the authority to make sure that the workplace is a place of respect for each employee. A common complaint of staff in many organizations, though, is that management do not respect them, or their work... Some managers simply do not know how to show respect without feeling they are losing some of their authority. These managers might want to remember that it's their employees who actually do the work, and who can make them look good as managers...

·         Employees Showing Respect for Management in the Workplace: In some workplaces, it's all too easy for employees as a group to disrespect managers... It just takes one strong personality type to starts complaining about the way they are being treated-- abused, disrespected... then other employees join in, and over time, the workplace becomes-- toxic, unhealthy, unproductive...

·         Formalizing Respect in the Workplace: Although it can be difficult to dictate 'respect' in the workplace; a culture of respect can be developed through formal policies and guidelines of behavior for both managers and employees... one method is to developed clearly documented rules for appropriate and respectful behavior... and any rules must be fully enforced with consequences...

In the article Creating a Climate of Respect by Jonathan Cohen, Richard Cardillo and Terry Pickeral write: For some, the notion of 'respect' implies a courteous, decorous, civil, deferential attitude of being taken seriously... Acting respectfully reflects appreciative feelings for another person, group... In business, respect can sound like this statement from an employee: "They actually listen to me in this workplace; management care about what I think and feel, they want me to be part of making this business even better"... In contrast, the absence of respect can sound like this statement from an employee: "They (i.e.; managers, co-workers...) don't care what I think, all they care about are the results"... Respectful organizations are environments where people feel safe, supported, engaged, challenged... Respect doesn't happen in isolation; it's based on well-intentioned engagements...

In the article Secret to Respect in the Workplace by Darcy Jacobsen writes: Respect has gotten much attention in the work environment lately, as it relates to-- equity, fairness, and just getting along with others... In fact, most will agree that a healthy level of respect is probably the most potent ingredient for workplace civility... But respect reaches much further than manners and compliance. It also plays a key role in recognition, engagement, and in creating a strong organizational culture. Think about it: Recognition, at its core, is really just a form of respect; people who are recognized-- for doing the right things tend to rise to that recognition, and strive to be worthy of it... People who are not recognized for hard work, performance... tend to feel forgotten, unappreciated, disrespected... According to research; the top five things employees look for when seeking a new job are: stability, compensation, respect, health benefits, work-life balance... According to Brian Kropp; workplaces have changed; it's not 'work and keep your head down workplace' anymore; most people are looking to be recognized, respected for individual contribution...

As workforce demographics shift and global markets emerge, workplace diversity inches closer to becoming a business necessity instead of a banner that companies wave to show their commitment to embracing differences and change... Hence, 'respect' for management, co-workers, customers... is important business priority; this means viewing each person as a unique contributor to the organization; it means recognizing each person on your team for their talent, ideas... which can make your organization better...

respect thTD702WWB

Hence, replace the old adage: "Treat others as you want to be treated"... with "Treat others as they want to be treated"... Learn about the different mannerisms in your workplace-- managers, co-workers, customers... and learn and listen on how they wish to treated... If you are not sure how to treat-- a person, group, religion, race, culture... then just ask them, in a respectful and polite manner... Respect/Disrespect is an interesting concept because it occurs only in the eye of the beholder-- it doesn't matter what you think or do... if a person feels disrespected it's their reality; it's the way they feel that really matters. Everyone (well, almost everyone) deserves to be treated with respect, but the key is to know and understand what 'respect' means to them...

WHAT IS EINSTEIN ?

Word of the Day

WhatIs.com

Daily updates on the latest technology terms |July 15, 2015

EINSTEIN

EINSTEIN is an intrusion detection system (IDS) for monitoring and analyzing Internet traffic as it moves in and out of United States federal government networks. EINSTEIN filters packets at the gateway and reports anomalies to the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) at the Department of Homeland Security.

EINSTEIN is designed to provide the federal government with a cohesive view of Internet threats and a centralized point of authority for dealing with potential threats. The second iteration of EINSTEIN included automatic alerts to US-CERT when activity matching predetermined patterns is detected. According to US-CERT, the patterns, which are called signatures, are not typically included in commercially available databases of known attack signatures, but are developed by US-CERT.

EINSTEIN 3 includes supplemental signatures developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and uses real-time deep packet inspection (DPI). In addition to notifying US-CERT when a network intrustion is attempted, EINSTEIN 3 also alerts the agencies.

As with all intrustion detection systems, EINSTEIN's weakness is that it cannot detect threats that do not have an associated signature in EINSTEIN's database.

Quote of the Day

"EINSTEIN is just a monitoring system and at the end of the day, the asset owners need to take action on the alerts that the system is generating in a timely fashion." - Adam Meyer

Biometrics for Secure Business, Personal Identity Authentication: Fingerprints, Eyes, Voice, Facial… Defeatable but Defensible.

Biometrics is defined as both the science and technology of measuring and analyzing biological data such as; fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, voice patterns, facial patterns, hand measurements, DNA... Biometrics is beginning to play a major role in different industries, e.g.; medicine, science, robotics, engineering, manufacturing, and all areas of vertical enterprise businesses... and smartphones, in particular, help enable these services... According to experts, biometrics is the only identification technology that can verify with near absolute certainty the identity of an individual... biometric identifiers are the only distinctive, measurable characteristics that describe each individual person... Though once the stuff of science fiction, identifying an individual through biological characteristics is gradually becoming a business reality...
bio thA0CPNKAI
Unlike the use of other forms of authentication, such as; passwords or tokens... biometric recognition provides a strong link between the person and a claimed identity... However, according to opponents; there are two important reasons why biometrics won't work, and why the old-fashioned password is still a better option: 1. person's biometrics can't be kept secret, 2. person's biometrics can't be revoked... According to Deloitte & Touche; spoofing a person's biometrics, particularly fingerprints, is a legitimate threat... However, given all the current alternative methodologies, e.g., passwords, tokens... biometrics may be the best technology for the authentication of a person's identity...
Global Biometrics Market Analyses: Historically, biometrics has been used in government applications, however, in recent years there has been a growing demand for its usage in commercial applications, such as; banking, points of sale, insurance... and the technology, e.g.; Iris and face recognition algorithms... are undergoing substantial advancements and gaining prominence, although fingerprint technologies remain the most popular...
According to Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Research: The global biometrics market is estimated to reach US$16.47 billion by 2017... and primarily driven by increasing threat of terrorist attacks, and the need for effective identification technologies... Growth in biometrics markets is driven by increasing opportunities from emerging niche market segments, such as, consumer-based wireless applications including; smartphones, laptops... which are expected to significantly bolster sales in the silicon fingerprint sensors market... U.S. is the largest market for biometrics, and Asia-Pacific represents one of the fastest growing markets with a CAGR of about 23.8%... the 'iris/retinal' scan market is the fastest growing segment, by technology, with a CAGR of about 25.9%...
According to ABI Research: Revenues for the biometrics market will hit US$13.8 billion in 2015... While majority of revenues are currently drawn from governmental contracts, increased consumer acceptance of biometric modalities will see the consumer and enterprise segments overtake government spending by 2018... Consumers are gradually gaining acceptance for utilizing fingerprint to identify themselves... and the 'accuracy-cost-acceptance-intrusive ratio' of fingerprint technology makes it more acceptable than other biometrics... Also, research shows that companies, such as; Apple and Samsung are leading in the mobile integration of biometric modalities, while companies, such as; 3M Cogent, MorphoTrak, NEC... are leading the biometrics field overall...
According to Mobey Forum Research: Biometrics authentication technology is a top priority for banks; in survey of 235 bank respondents worldwide, 22% of these banks are already offering biometrics to their customers, while 65% are planning to offer services in near future... also, more than half plan to launch fingerprint biometrics for their customers, while an additional 21% are focusing on voice recognition... According to Aite Group; interviews with 26 fraud executives in 19 North American financial institutions, assets greater than US$50 billion, found that mobile and biometric technology are dominating thinking on issues of authentication and identification... Six of these banks are enabling biometrics for mobile banking 'login' by the end of 2015, and more than half are reducing the use of 'knowledge-based' authentication technology over the next two years...
According to Acuity Market Intelligence Research: Smart mobile devices will include 100% embedded biometric sensors as a standard feature by 2020... According to Maxine Most; biometrics are a natural fit for the smart mobile devices... Drilling down into the data, they predict that by 2020 there will be 4.8 billion biometric enabled smart mobile devices generating $6.2 billion in biometric sensor revenue, and 5.4 billion biometric app downloads generating $21.7 billion in annual revenues from direct purchase and software development fees... and 807 billion biometric secured payment and non-payment transactions generating $6.7 billion in authentication fees...
According to Transparency Market Research: The healthcare 'biometrics' market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25.9% to reach an estimated value of US$ 5.8 billion in 2019... In the global healthcare biometrics market; fingerprint recognition is the most prominent technology... it will make up more than 50% of biometrics in the healthcare industry through 2019... Geographically, North America is the largest market for healthcare biometrics technologies and it along with Europe will capture more than 75% of market share... While, Asia-Pacific will provide the largest and most diverse business opportunities for biometrics security solutions in healthcare, due to their budding domestic and export markets for national produced biometric devices...
In the article Biometrics: Business of Identity by Rituparna Chatterjee writes: The FBI is one of many government agencies shaping the future of biometrics... According to Olga Raskin; only governments can afford the kind of 'mega' investment needed for pervasive biometric projects, e.g.; in Afghanistan U.S. marines are building a biometric database of opium farmers-- to create identity cards for security purposes-- by using handheld iris-scanners... While, larger devices perform retina scans at Dubai airport, for brief transit visas... By next year, every South African passport will be biometric... In the U.S., the FBI processes 160,000 to 200,000 fingerprint scans every day, and they are using DNA in the form of genetic fingerprints in criminal investigations... A biometric database of about 70 million fingerprints enable the FBI to gauge, within 10 minutes or less, whether a person has a criminal record or not... However, the largest biometric project in the world is India's huge, Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) program; India has issued over 2 million Aadhaar cards that are based on biometrics-- fingerprints and iris scans...

In the article Biometric Technology Leads The Way by Jason Compton writes: Biometric technology provides innovative ways to control access, authenticate identity, streamline transactions... Widespread consumer adoption of biometric payment schemes and growing inclusion of reliable fingerprint scanners, in high-end smartphones, are fueling much of the acceptance... As biometrics technology continues to evolve, here are a few facts to know:
Biometrics is still a balancing act: Biometric algorithms always involves trade-off between false positives (incorrectly granting access to an unauthorized user) and false negatives (incorrectly denying access to a legitimate user). Finding the right balance for each application is a combination of art and science. Biometric devices and algorithms continue to shrink the gap and, by extension, the tradeoffs...
Mobile plays a central role: Emboldened by the success of fingerprint scanners on high-end smartphones and tablets, vendors are racing to push more authentication and transaction tasks to mobile devices. As both consumers and enterprise users become accustomed to tap-and-scan authentication, expect heavy focus to fall on the role of mobile devices to ease the path to biometric adoption...
Password-free dream is still alive: One advantages of biometric technology is that it emphasizes 'who you are' over 'what you know'... That makes a biometric credential more difficult to steal or to intercept than a password or physical token. Multi-factor authentication schemes require both an 'own' and a 'known' component, such as;  fingerprint and password. This multi-factor approach provides enhanced security at the cost of user convenience. Sophisticated criminal organizations are attacking password databases very aggressively, making a multi-factor approach increasingly appealing...
Voice print is gaining traction: Fingerprint scanners are all the rage, but the human voice provides a rich bed of unique characteristics, making it near-perfect for biometric identification. Financial institutions are accelerating their acceptance of voice authentication, which can cut down on the need for lengthy and inconvenient in-person meetings by verifying a client's identity remotely. Once authorized by voice-print, customers can complete complex or high-value transactions by phone or online...
Watch the government: Government agencies are not always at the forefront of IT trends, but on biometrics, they have been given both the budget and the mandate to be extremely aggressive. The FBI's 'Next Generation Identification' (NGI) system went live in 2014, creating a central clearinghouse for innovations in-- fingerprint, face, iris scanning... Industry can learn from the successful protocols and should keep an eye on public sector results...
Wearables join the biometric toolkit: Gartner Research projects over 68 million smart wearable devices will ship in 2015. As adoption of wearable technology grows, so does the potential to use wearables as biometric markers... 'Zero-Effort Bilateral Recurring Authentication' (ZEBRA) uses a biometric bracelet to uniquely identify a user, based on their proximity to a computer terminal. When the user moves away from the computer, they are automatically logged-off from the session... Wearables provide an intriguing alternative to fingerprint scanners, smartphones...
So: Should you use biometrics security? It depends: Do your benefits outweigh the costs? According to Jason Bruderlin; when used correctly, biometric security devices are more secure than traditional methods, for example, if digitized medical records are stolen from a doctor's office, that doctor potentially faces steep fines under federal law. The benefit to him is the cost of fines he avoids if his data is properly secured... Additionally, biometric identifiers cannot be written down or lost and in all but the most extreme cases, they cannot be stolen. Replacing passwords with fingerprinting increases efficiency, at the consumer level, and doesn't require the consumer to remember passwords...
bio thFELVFP3B
However, biometric security does have drawbacks, e.g.; installation can be complicated and costly and return on investment (ROI) is usually difficult to quantify... So biometrics technology is not perfect-- it can be defeated... But, as more sensitive information is stored digitally, the cost of not sufficiently securing that information increases and currently biometrics is probably best solution for keeping it relatively secure... However, there is much to be done with the technology of biometrics and as it evolves and improves so will its-- accuracy, reliability, form factors... and that will increase its applications as an important security solution for business and personal identification and authentication.
