The AU psychological WPA (Work Place Assessment) 2016 shows that AU as a whole, including the Department of Geoscience, needs to focus on the following topics to improve the work environment:

1. Stress prevention
2. Leadership in daily work life
3. Recognition from colleagues and management
4. A sober tone of communication

To proceed with this, the local WPA working group needs input from you. >Any proposals for specific actions to be taken concerning these topics or ideas for a better way of working with the psychological work are welcome. Contact a member of the WPA working group with your idea - or leave a note in the mailbox in the stairway just inside the back door from the parking lot (building 1674-1675)  - before 15 August.
Working group members: Søren Bom Nielsen, Lene Kjeldsteen, Anders Vest Christiansen, Kirsten Rosendal og Charlotte Rasmussen.

Watch out for fraud attempts!

Currently, there is reported an increase in the number of so-called SpearPhishing attempts in which fraudsters try to trick money from companies. One should therefore exercise extra caution during the coming holiday period. See: http://www.au.dk/en/informationsecurity/latest-news/single/artikel/pas-paa-svindlere/.

Generally, it is a constant and time comsun ing problem to IT support that different kinds of Phishing e-mails are being sent to AU e-mail-addresses, and that employees clik on links and enter user names and passwords into forms on false homepages.

How to recognize a phishing mail? See: http://www.au.dk/en/informationsecurity/phishing-en/.
