Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   In looking forward to National Cyber Security Awareness Month in October, Justin has invited on a special guest, Craig Gillespie, to discuss the state of the hybrid and remote workforce!   Craig Gillespie is the Vice President of MRI Software’s Occupier Division. He advises Fortune 500 companies on best practices for rolling out technologies like space planning and room/desk booking (both of which most commonly integrate into HRIS systems and collect data through WiFi or sensors.) Together, Justin and Craig discuss what risk professionals should consider as they assess or reassess their floorplans, how data privacy can influence decision-making against the backdrop of COVID-19, and what risk professionals should know when it comes to privacy standards.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS’ Global Membership.
