Employers Add Another Benefit
Employers are beginning to offer their staff identity theft protection services. Companies have learned that workers who have been victimized by this crime spend company time clearing their name. Several providers offer products to help personnel complete the many steps which have to be taken. Although some actions can only be done by the victim, these services can help speed the time to completion.
It is estimated that a person can spend up to 18 months and over $2,000 to clear their credit report after an incident of identity theft. By offering the services, a company may instill more loyalty from the employee. Of course, I might suggest providing employees with a copy of my book, Protect Your Good Name! (From IDentity Theft) for each employee or at least the opportunity to buy one. The book is an easy read and contains many suggestions to prevent the attack as well as resolving the problem should it occur. It is also a far less expensive tack.
My company, Information Security Education, LLC also offers training session for employees, and clients. The basic courses can be done in as little as two hours and cover protection around the home, personal computers and protecting your business. I have conducted these course for individuals, community groups, colleges and private companies. The rates are reasonable and the comments have been very good.
Information Security Education, LLC can also work with your business in the prevention of information theft. Identity thieves have exposed more than 60 million private personal records since February, 2005. Educating employees as the importance of privacy was cited by The Wall Street Journal as the single greatest item in prevention.
If you are an employer, you may consider this benefit as a way to promote goodwill. If you are an employee feel free to share this information with your employer. The more people who are informed about the issue the better chance we have to prevent it.
