John Hersey is Featured in a Comprehensive Professional Profile

The veteran sales executive answered questions on a wide variety of topics, ranging from the role identity protection plays in today’s society to how the pandemic has reshaped the typical workplace.

SAVAGE, MN / ACCESSWIRE / January 7, 2022 / When John Hersey, corporate executive and head of the sales division at Identity Protection Group, was approached by freelance journalist Carlyn Runnels about being the featured subject of an in-depth professional profile, he agreed readily, eager to share his accumulated wisdom with the public. The interview, which was conducted by an online periodical that concentrates on matters relating to business and entrepreneurship, was published on September 2, 2021.

At the outset of the profile, John is asked why he chose to pursue a career in the identity protection industry, to which he replies thoughtfully, “As a society, we’ve reached the point where identity theft protection is a lot like car insurance. What I mean by that is, you pay your car insurance, and you don’t think all that much about it. It’s just another one of your bills, like any other utility. Except, when somebody smashes into you in traffic, suddenly the car insurance that you just pay without thinking about it becomes super important. And it’s the same thing with identity protection. You can be living a good life, everything is fine, and suddenly somebody starts using your social security number to apply for a loan or to get a credit card. Maybe next they try using your social security number to grab your tax returns. These things happen all too frequently,” he muses, taking a macro view. “So, providing protection against that sort of thing is almost akin to giving a person insurance on their identity. I think it’s going to become even more important as we keep advancing technologically.”

Later on in the interview, John Hersey is posed a question about a recent trend that excites him. “Many people now, because of the pandemic and all that’s happened over the last year and a half, are working from home,” he answers, elaborating, “I think, long term, that trend will only increase in popularity as the world moves forward. It’s going to affect a lot of industries-in fact, it already is affecting a lot of industries. In embracing the work-from-home movement, companies are giving people more time to live life. Depending on how far they’ve got to drive, they might get an hour or even a few hours back that they’d otherwise spend stuck in traffic. What we have found is that the people working from home are doing just as good a job as those working in an office setting. Now, it’s not all good news, of course. Some people really need the human interaction inherent to an office or a workplace. When you have an in-person job, you make friends at work, and you look forward to seeing people every workday. But many people are fine working at home, with only light and necessary interaction.”
