The key milestones to having your employees actively participate in the Hoxhunt training, and thereby actively strengthening your human firewall are:

1. Introduce Hoxhunt to your employees before launch

2. Encourage your employees to participate in the training before and after launch

3. Continuously reinforce the importance participating in the training

4. Continuously reward your employees for excellent results in the training

Pre-launch: Introduce

The first stage on the road to success is introducing Hoxhunt to your team before launch.

It is important to introduce the five Ws:

1. Why is the training being introduced?

2. What is Hoxhunt and how does it work?

3. Who is participating in the training and is it mandatory?

4. When is the training starting?

5. Where can your employees find more information?

Post-launch: Encourage

The second stage is the 8 weeks after launch, where it is good to monitor the onboarding rate and further encourage employees to participate in the training, while providing them with additional topical content around Hoxhunt and how they can recognize and report suspicious emails.

You will be able to monitor the onboarding and activity rate in the reporting included in Hoxhunt Insights.
