When it comes to completing your security team, hiring the right employees will lead you, your team and your organization to greater success, but finding, recruiting and retaining top security talent may be easier said than done.
The right hire will not only complete your security team, but also enhance and add to your security team’s culture, as well as improve productivity and bring more operational success to the department. Whether hiring a security officer or middle manager on the enterprise team — though the competencies may differ — the general principles remain the same.
“You are only as good as the team around you,” says Kristine Raad, Director of Global Security for Owens Corning. “Hiring the right team member will have tremendous impact on driving successful initiatives, creating team harmony and elevating the status of your function. A poor match, however, can decrease the team’s productivity and even worse, erode both the trust and confidence your organization has in you and your team.”
