It took a global pandemic for 2 things to happen

• Businesses realised that they didn’t need their staff to always be in the office to actually get things done
• People realised that they didn’t want to go back to the dreaded commute, they wanted more flexibility from their employer – they wanted a new structure that allowed them to work from home when it suited

And so, the new “Hybrid” working model was born, its amazing how “new” things so very quickly become “normal.”

We have put together our Top 3 Tips for you and your business if you are adopting new Hybrid working models.

• First & foremost consider those employees on staff who cannot work remotely – those who need to conduct their role face to face – What benefits / changes are needed for those staff who can not move to a Hybrid working model. What safety protocols need to be put in place to ensure their Health, Safety & Wellbeing
• Effective communication – I think most people can talk about a company where they had meetings about meetings, they talked and talked but never ever actually achieved anything. Sometimes we don’t get what we need from meetings but its not really a big deal because “We have another meeting tomorrow – I will get the info then” – We have a couple of rules when it comes to meetings.

1. Agenda – What needs to be discussed / Who needs to be involved – This needs to be circulated in advance
2. Attendees – If someone is unable to make the meeting they advise so in advance, they provide the information they needed to provide in advance or the meeting is rescheduled for when they can attend
3. Minutes – Old school but we keep notes, and these are circulated by email afterwards ensuring all Actions are captured and added to the agenda for the next meeting
4. Not always a popular one but cameras on – We feel its important to stay connected even when we can not be together in the office and seeing faces helps with that.

• Providing the Right Tools – Ensuring your staff have the right tools they need in order to be able to do their jobs is essential. This can be everything from laptops / screens to stationery and systems. You also need to ensure that you also continue following your internal processes even when not in the office. Particularly when it comes to protecting yours and your customers data – You can read more on how we can help support with this by reading our blog https://mckennasecurityshredding.com/remote-workforce-shredding-service/

For businesses confidential data can be broken down into 3 different sectors:

Employee Data, Customer Data and Business data.

Below we have provided some examples of data that is classified as Confidential Data and therefore you need to ensure you are disposing of this correctly – Whether it is electronic or paper data.

• Customer Credit Card Details – Everyone knows about this right, its probably the one piece of data that people are already very careful with? But what about taking payments over the phone from the customer – Do your staff take a quick note of the credit card number on a notepad to ensure they captured it correctly? What then happens with the paper / notepad that they wrote on?
• Home Addresses / PPS Number / Email Addresses  – When we hire new staff, or our employees change roles this usually generates a nice big paper trail – You have contracts, onboarding documentation, new employee data forms. So, what happens with the data once you have captured this, does it sit in a filing cabinet? How long does it stay there before you do a “Clean out” – Do you still have data in your offices for employees that have left the company? Data that you have on file for your employees can be the most sensitive in terms of what could go wrong if it got into the wrong hands.
• Invoices & Quotes – Invoices & quotations can include lots of sensitive data, names, addresses, bank details to name but a few…. This data can belong to your customer, your suppliers, and your own business.
• Financial Data – Bank Statements, credit card statement’s, even internal finance reports – These are all likely to contain data that you would not want getting out into the world.
• Emails, Notes, Memos – This is the type of confidential data that people are probably the least aware of, and probably the least careful with! What is your company policy when it comes to memos, notes, printing out emails? Have you give your staff clear instructions on how to handle this?

Ensuring your staff are able to define what is considered confidential waste is the first step – Then you need to ensure your staff know how to correctly dispose.

The post WE ARE HIRING! appeared first on McKenna security shredding.

Remote workers have access to an incredible amount of company information ie, employee data, payroll data, printed emails, invoices, quotations and general day to day office material which is still being printed in the home office. When people work in the homeplace they become more complacent when handling company confidential material as they are within their own four walls. However, it is essential that companies continue to enforce their existing policy and processes ensuring there are no data breaches. One way to protect your business is to put in place a service which enables your remote workforce to dispose of confidential data generated within the home office.

McKenna Security Shredding have developed a confidential shredding service for remote workers using Eco Self Sealed Shredding Bags. Once sealed the bags cannot be opened until they are processed through the shredding machine and destroyed. Your company receives a Certificate of destruction confirming all confidential material has been destroyed for each bag collected.

The Benefits of service includes:

• Cost effective way of managing remote workers confidential material.
• Peace of mind that company data is being managed securely
• GDPR compliant.
• Positively coaching remote workers on best practices in securely disposing of confidential material.

How it works….

Step 1) Call or email (info@mckennasecurityshredding.com) to request Remote Working Shredding service advising requirements ie volume of material and date which service is required.

Step 2) McKenna Security Shredding deliver Eco Sealed Shredding bags to workers. Note there is two options available for our customers-

• Eco Sealed Shredding Bags delivered directly to remote workers address.
• Large quantity of Eco Sealed Shredding Bags delivered centrally to company address in order to distribute to remote workers. (this may suit larger organisations)

Step 3) Once remote workers have filled the Eco Sealed Shredding bags, they contact McKenna Security Shredding and request time and date for collection.

Step 4) Remote Workforce Shredding Service collect the material at the remote workers home address. With the current Covid 19 restrictions we have a process in place to ensure your remote workers will never come in close contact with our collection drivers as social distancing is always adhered to. All of our staff are fully trained in this matter and you can be assured that the health and safety of your staff and our staff are paramount when carrying out collections. Once collected the material is shredded in which point we provide your company with Certificate of Destruction given your company complete peace of mind.

The post On Site Document Shredding appeared first on McKenna security shredding.

Office shredders are generally straight cut shredders which have a low security level. If this shredded material gets into the wrong hands there is the potential for confidential information to be retrieved which could be detrimental to your business.

DIN (Deutsches Institut Fur Normung) is a registered non-profit standards association that was founded in 1917 in Germany.

DIN 66399 covers 5 additional data carriers other than paper/print media that are classified accordingly. For paper and Print media the letter ‘P’ is utilised for the classifications. Each classification size is listed below:

Classification

Level P-1 = ≤12 mm wide strips of any length

Level P-2 = ≤6 mm wide strips of any length

Level P-3 = ≤2 mm wide strips of any length OR ≤320mm² particles (of any width)

Level P-4 = ≤160mm² particles with width ≤ 6mm

Level P-5 = ≤30mm² particles with width ≤ 2mm

Level P-6 = ≤10mm² particles with width ≤ 1mm

Level P-7 = ≤5mm² particles with width ≤ 1mm

McKenna Security Shredding are one of the only Irish companies who can offer a level P-4 via On Site shredding technology.
