Employees spend many hours on the Internet, and much of the time isn’t used for their work. A recent study by Salary.com and America Online found that U.S. employees squander an average of two hours of company time online every day, time that costs their companies $759 billion annually. Employers face serious problems with employees' improper use of the Internet, including:
  • Unauthorized access to websites that charge a fee to enter
  • Sexual harassment charges by employees due to the display of pornographic or obscene materials on adult websites
  • Trademark and copyright-infringement issues from improper use of materials owned by an outside party
  • Viruses from downloads of software and other materials found online
  • Lost productivity because company time is wasted by employees surfing the Web for non-work-related activities
This white paper goes in-depth to explain how employers face serious problems with employees' improper use of the Internet and what steps employers can take to protect themselves.
