Electronic Monitoring in the Workplace

Electronic Monitoring in the WorkplaceElectronic Monitoring in the WorkplaceYou may think no one will notice if you just take a few minutes out of your workday to play an online game, check your social media accounts and email your friends. If you are using your office computer for those activities, theres a good gunst der stunde your babo is well aware of what you are doing. According to the American Management Association, 66% of employers who responded to the organizations Electronic Monitoring and Surveillance Survey monitored their employees internet connections in the workplace and their online activity even when they arent on the job. Electronic monitoring may take many forms, this survey showed. Many employers (45%) reported tracking content, keyboard strokes and time spent at the keyboard. Forty-three percent said they store and review computer files. Your online activities away from the workplace arent beyond your bosss scrutiny either. If you think its okay to post things about your company on blogs or social media, you should know thatsome companies troll the internet to landsee what their workers have to say about them. What are employers so worried about? Productivity, of course, is a big issue. If workers spend an excessive amount of time online, they are probably not doing their jobs. Thats not their only concern, however. Many say they conduct electronic monitoring because they are worried about lawsuits and security breaches. If you dont know if your boss is monitoring you, take a look at your company handbook. Is there a policy regarding internet and email use.If you work in Connecticut or Delaware, your employer has to let you know if they are using electronic monitoring. Although other states dont require this, many companies dont keep it a secret. Some, however, might. You are always better off if you simply assume your employer is watching you and avoid activities that can get you into trouble. Ask yourself if going online during the work day is more important than your job. Many employers, according to the survey, report firing workers for inappropriate internet use at work. Twenty-eight percent saidthey dismissed individuals for email misuse and 30% indicated theyfired workers for inappropriate use of the Internet. Be Wise When You Go Online Even if you are certain your boss isnt keeping on eye on your online activity, you should limit it.It isnt wise, nor is it productive, to spend a lot of time online while you are supposed to be working. If you look like you dont have enough to do, your boss will wonder why. Some jobs involve having a lot of downtime. While your presence is required, you may spend hours with little to do. Your boss may allow you, during those times, to partake in other activities as long as you are ready to work when needed. He may even let you spend some of that quiet time online. Here is when good judgment is essential. Dont think that having your bosss permission to spend time online mean s you can do whatever you want, visit whatever sites you want, and email to whomever and about whatever you want. Certain activities are off limits. Are there places out in the real world where you would feel uncomfortable running into your boss? Then you should stay away from those types of establishments in the online world as well. You may be able to travel around the web anonymously by activating the privacy mode on your browser or clearing the history, but your company may still be able to track your movements. Lets not forget the number of employers who admitted to doing electronic monitoring of workers online activity.Imagine how embarrassing it would be if you got caught in, lets say, a compromising position. While you are free to use the internet however you wish on your own time, you should still avoid doing certain things. As mentioned earlier in this article, some employers keep an eye on social media and blogs to see if anyone is talking about them. Dont say anything ne gative about the company, your boss or your coworkers. Never reveal any company secrets. The Electronic Monitoring and Surveillance Survey showed there is a high likelihood that your employer is keeping a close eye on your online activity. Thats a compelling reason to be prudent about what you do online while in the workplace and outside of it.
