The Internet has become indispensable to job function and
performance, enabling quicker research and
communication.With companies using large amounts of capital
building Internet infrastructures and providing employees
with Web access, this investment must be effectively
managed. However, organisations have struggled between
offering workers unlimited Internet access and completely
blocking non-work-related Web sites, trying to avoid both
employee backlash and rampant Internet misuse. But,like
all business decisions, it is not a black-or-white issue.
Employees are not just accessing inappropriate sites like
pornography and gambling. As the workday gets longer,
workers are finding it necessary to accomplish personal
tasks online at the office, such as online banking or
e-shopping. With more demanding work schedules and tighter
deadlines, employees appreciate the opportunity for
non-work-related Internet use, but want to understand their
limitations regarding Web use at work. Fortunately,
management has several tools at its disposal, from dynamic
Internet access policies to flexible filtering software.
Employee Internet Management helps your company:
- Conserve precious network bandwidth resources
- Reduce legal liability
- Boost employee productivity
- Enforce your existing Internet access policy
