Businesses are increasingly able to streamline workflows and finances through technology, lifting productivity and accelerating growth. However the right technology can also help simplify your operations, reducing the everyday stresses of running a business.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced his government will create a cyber security role next month as part of a ministerial reshuffle.

Being able to set tangible goals is key to improving and growing your business. However there are a number of factors that make a goal successful – for instance, your team, the timeline and the scale. Balancing these factors is one of the main challenges when setting goals in a business.

Having policies that are friendly to diverse backgrounds means that your ability to attract talent is greater, workplace culture is enhanced and you are more likely to outperform non-diverse companies.
