CALIFORNIA – Following the protests from its non-employee and temporary workforce, Google has decided to offer many benefits to its employees. The temporary employees of the company in the US would receive health-care facilities, $15 minimum wage, and 3 months of parental leave. A high number of temporary workers such as vendors, accountants, who had joined the company with the reference of the third-party are not receiving the same benefits as that of proper Google employees. Due to the prevalence of inequality in the company, many workers raised a protest against Google for better working conditions and they also received support from full Google employees.

While announcing its move, Google said that it would provide temporary workers with various health benefits, minimum of eight paid days of sick leave. Also, it asked the workforce providers to offer $15 per hour and $5,000 per annum in tuition compensation. However, Google announced that the wage requirements will be met at the end of the year and the health care benefits will begin around 2022. This delay in providing the benefits to temporary workers has received criticism from the tech workers coalition.

Big companies such as Google hire workers directly to work for them. Whereas in the case of small companies, the owners consult various agencies to provide their services. For example, if some company has to do account related work, then it would look for services from various accounting services available online. Accounting temp agencies Richardson TX is one such name which provides high-quality accounting service online. In the case of Google, about 50% of workers are temporary who don’t get the same benefits as that of full-time employees. However, this move from Google might bring some positive change in the lives of such temporary workers.

In the digital age, the adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” has never been more relevant.

For Juan Ricardo Palacio and Andrea Baggio of HelpRansomware, the battle against digital threats is a daily reality. Founded in response to the growing menace of ransomware, HelpRansomware has made it its mission to recover data while educating the public on the importance of cyber hygiene.

“Preventing a cyberattack before it happens is crucial. We can safeguard digital assets more effectively by nipping the threat in the bud through vigilant monitoring and proactive measures,” says Baggio.

The Growing Threat of Cybercrime

Cyber threats have become increasingly pervasive and sophisticated, impacting businesses and individuals alike. According to research, there are an estimated 2,000 cyberattacks per day globally.

HelpRansomware advocates for a proactive outlook on cybersecurity. It offers practical tips for maintaining good cyber hygiene, such as regularly updating software, using strong and unique passwords, developing risk management plans, and educating employees about phishing scams.

“Cyber hygiene is about taking small, consistent actions to protect your digital assets,” explains Palacio. “When we practice good cyber hygiene, the chances of cyber attacks occurring shrink significantly.”

Businesses can significantly reduce cyberattack vulnerability by integrating these practices into daily routines.

HelpRansomware’s efforts are power moves across the board that help businesses recover from attacks. Its checkmate move, however, is its vision to build a culture of prevention that can safeguard against future threats.
