Description
Today, we are joined by tech entrepreneur, author, speaker, advisor, and founder of The Source, Jane Frankland. Jane has identified several discrepancies in the hiring process and, in this episode, she shares her advice for ensuring a diverse and inclusive workplace from the get-go.    Key Points From This Episode:   Why cybersecurity is so important for individuals and companies. How attackers use automation to target vulnerabilities and extract information. Why social media platforms should provide better support for those facing security breaches. How women’s risk perception typically differs from that of men. Jane’s background in art and design and her transition into technology and cybersecurity. A look at The Source platform and the opportunities it affords underrepresented women. How Jane helps companies attract and retain diverse talent (and why it’s crucial to do so.) The importance of identifying gender differences and removing biases in the hiring process. Factors affecting diversity and inclusion issues in the workplace. Jane’s advice for creating an inclusive workspace, starting with the hiring process! The mental health issues challenges faced by the cybersecurity industry.   Tweetables:   “37% of women in the world still don't have access to the internet, which is really quite horrifying.” — @JaneFrankland [0:06:07]   “Women [see] risk in a different way to men, and if you [don’t] have women in companies helping to assess risk and protect companies, then you [are] going to be less safe.” — @JaneFrankland [0:12:24]   “We have a real problem with wellbeing [in the cybersecurity industry]; with mental health, with brain health, with stress and burnout. It's absolutely horrific. It’s at a higher level than healthcare workers at the moment.” — @JaneFrankland [0:29:37]   Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:   Jane Frankland The Source Jane Frankland on LinkedIn Jane Frankland on Twitter Jane Frankland on Instagram Talk Talent to Me Hired
