Employee Tracking Software - Consider This

Why should you consider monitoring employees’ activities in the first place? Are employers who read their employees’ e-mail or keep track of Web sites visited just being nosy and overly controlling? Unfortunately, the company can be held civilly liable or even criminally responsible for employees’ actions.

If an employee downloads pornography onto a work computer that is displayed, intentionally or accidentally, to others, the company could be sued for sexual harassment (creating or allowing a “hostile workplace”). If the employee downloads child porn, the company may become caught up in a criminal investigation. If the employee is embezzling money from customers’ accounts, the company could be held to be negligent. If an employee uses company equipment to commit any criminal act, at the very least the company may end up having its computers confiscated for evidence.

Even if the employees’ activities aren’t subject to criminal charges or lawsuits, wasting large amounts of company time surfing non-business-related Web sites, sending personal e-mail or chatting with friends costs the company money in lost productivity. Downloading large files uses network bandwidth and may slow down the network for legitimate users. Visiting unsafe Web sites may introduce viruses and other malware to the company network. Finally, employees may deliberately or inadvertently expose confidential company information (trade secrets, personnel data, financial information) to unauthorized persons through e-mail or chat.

The surveillance of employees has become increasingly commonplace, research shows. Already, 76% of companies monitor employees' website connections, and 65% block access to specific sites, up from 40% in 2001. About 35% track the content, keystrokes and time spent at the keyboard, according to the 2005 study by the American Management Association and The ePolicy Institute, a Columbus, Ohio-based training and consulting firm. More than half of employers retain and review e-mail messages.
