We live in such a connected world. People of all ages are using technology to their advantage to shop, secure their homes/cars, watch tv shows and movies, listen to music and much more, but with access to all of these things - we take a lot for granted: security and privacy most importantly.

There are many ways that an employer can monitor your activities in the workplace, and they are allowed to do so by the law.

It’s unimaginable to think someone would want to steal your best friend. Sadly it does happen, for reasons such as resale, animal research, fur, or even dog fighting. Thieves may steal pets from the street, from yards, or from cars, even if you’re just gone for a minute. Fortunately, there are many ways you can increase your pet’s safety to prevent these tragedies.

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snap Chat… We use social media every day. Whether you’re wishing a friend happy birthday, checking in at your local bar, or listing your apartment up for rent, you could be putting yourself at risk for burglary. It sounds unimaginable, but the fact is that your personal information has never been more accessible.

We all do our best to keep the people we care about safe. This extends to our property and possessions of course, but it should also extend to people we work with. Offices should always take safety and security into consideration, and prepare employees in case of emergency.
