Title: Safeguarding Against Phishing Scams: Best Practices for Handling Employee Performance Evaluation Requests
When receiving an email requesting action, especially related to the Annual Employee Performance Evaluation, it is crucial to verify the sender's email address. Ensure that the domain is correct and matches the company's official domain to avoid falling victim to a potential scam.
Additionally, always double-check the login method requested in the email. Never enter your company email and password into any form that is not your recognized, official company login screen. Internal forms should never require your password for security reasons.
Pay attention to the sign-off in the email. If the email does not clearly name the person or department responsible for the request, it is advisable to be cautious and question the legitimacy of the email.
If you have any doubts about the authenticity of the email, refrain from replying or clicking any links provided. Instead, open a new email and reach out to a known HR representative or your supervisor through a verified channel to verify the request before taking any action.
