Spoiled with so many good contributors to absorb from the PeepSec week!

Wow, what a fantastic experience to have presented some of the insights learned over the past decade of working with people. I feel like we have been spoiled with so many good contributors to absorb from the PeepSec week!

Head on over here to watch the interviews from the week.

In this discussion hosted by CybSafe’s CEO & Founder, Oz Alashe, people and change expert Marilise de Villiers identifies some of the important issues facing cybersecurity executives today. Do people have a false sense of security? Should we stop relying on people’s motivation to do the right thing? Are security professionals still viewed as ‘policemen’? Join this interview to find out!

About Marilise

Marilise is the Founder and Director of Marilise de Villiers Basson Consulting.

She also trains Cybersecurity teams to become high performing, capable of working autonomously and delivering significant improvements in bottom-line performance. Mentoring and coaching women in Cybersecurity are particularly close to Marilise’s heart.

INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN MY STUDY ON WORKPLACE CULTURE

I need your support, please. I am conducting a study for my book, Roar! How to tame the bully, and I would be very grateful if you would participate in my study.

In my eBook, you will have read about my own experience with workplace bullying and its toll on my relationships and my health (mentally and physically). That is why I am determined to help others recognise the signs of workplace bullying early on and to take action before it is too late.

If you have worked in a situation where you have been the Witness or Target of:

1. behaviour that is intentionally negative and malicious, whether physical or emotional, from one or more persons,
2. negative behaviour that is consistently aggressive and persistent, and
3. behaviour that is driven by another person’s desire to obtain control.

Then I would like to invite you to participate in this study.

This survey is being sent to individuals working in organisations across all industries worldwide. Your participation will help assure that the results generated present an accurate reflection of the prevalence of bullying behaviour in workplace cultures today.

The survey is anonymous and treated in the strictest confidence. You may refuse to answer any question or quit the survey at any time. It will take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete.

I’d love to get industry and country-specific analysis too, so the more responses I get, the better, so please feel free to send this link to your colleagues.

Thank you in advance,

Marilise de Villiers

PS: Although there may be no direct benefit to the participant, there are possible benefits to organisations and society as a whole. Leaders, managers, and human resource personnel may learn techniques for identifying, investigating, and managing workplace bullying. Potential benefits to employees would include improved mental, physical and emotional well-being. Raising awareness of workplace bullying could potentially benefit leaders and organisations by increasing employee engagement and productivity.
