Besides all of those people who are advocating for the scaling back or non-implementation of tools to save jobs, most people understand the benefit of automation when it makes sense. Not only do machines tend to do certain tasks more effectively, they never willingly take a day off. Unfortunately, for every task that needs to be completed less than half can be automated, and that number drops even further when you take into account everything a human does at their job. Today, there are very few jobs that can be fully automated; even as AI has begun to be used more for business. This week, we wanted to discuss why automation may not be the answer you are looking for and why training humans holds a lot of value.

This shift in the way that people work has required some adjustments, and this month, we wanted to take a closer look at the employees’ side of the “new normal” Mind you, this won’t be a comprehensive list of issues that remote workers are dealing with, but we will try to go through some of the challenges and benefits that people deal with when they work remotely.
Passwords are the most important security tool used to secure digital assets. They are critical for small businesses, as weak or mishandled credentials can lead to serious security problems.
