Employee Privacy in the Workplace

admin — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 05:42:40 +0000

We See What You Do, We Hear What You Say

Through the years public concern about workplace privacy has grown. Laws in almost every state allow the monitoring of employees in the course of their work day. Advanced technology has made it possible to monitor workers while on and off the employer’s premises. As technology advances, methods to monitor employees become more sophisticated. Current laws don’t address every issue that is raised regarding workplace privacy.

From a company perspective, workplace monitoring is essential to the daily operation of the business. The work ethic in America has changed over the years from the “traditional” standard of job commitment, achievement, and high ethical values to a new lower work ethic of wanting more and giving less. Companies pay high costs associated with losses caused by employee theft, vandalism, and lawsuits. One way to reduce losses and costs is to implement employee monitoring. A good loss prevention program that incorporates employee monitoring is a benefit to both employer and employees.

Employee monitoring

Employee monitoring has a place in society, and employers do have the right to monitor employee performance and use of company resources. Employers lose money when an employee doesn’t perform the work that she is being paid to do. In effect, that employee is stealing from her employer by not providing what she agreed to provide, which is work in exchange for a paycheck.

Contrary to popular belief, monitoring in the workplace also benefits the employee. For example, a very expensive pair of sun glasses is stolen from Joe while he is at work. He accuses Dave, his work partner, of taking the glasses because Dave complemented Joe on them, and said that he wants a pair. Joe goes to Human Resources and lodges a complaint against Dave. It is discovered that Dave didn’t steal Joe’s glasses; a video camera that is installed in the work area taped Brian, the custodian, pocketing Joe’s glasses when he thought no one was watching. This monitoring process saved Dave’s reputation and proved who the real culprit is.

Monitoring employees while on the job is a way that companies have to ensure that their losses are minimized. There are many different forms of employee monitoring. There are legal and illegal boundaries, and laws that employers must adhere to. The employer has the right to videotape places where the employee has no reasonable expectation of privacy such as work stations, hallways, work areas, building exterior areas, parking lots, employee break rooms, and common areas. Other things and activities that employers have the right to monitor include:

Telephone calls that are not personal calls that are made or received using company telephones

Voice mail on company voice mail systems

Email messages, incoming and outgoing that are to or from a work email address

Internet usage from company computers

Use of company computers including keystroke, computer screen, and hard-drive monitoring

Instant messaging conducted on company computers

The use of GPS devices in company cars and company provided cell phones to track location, driving speed, and other work related activities.

Safety and litigation issues also warrant workplace monitoring. A video tape is an excellent witness when details of an on-the-job accident are not clear, or a workplace issue is being litigated and facts are missing.

Laws vary from state to state on how far an employer can go to monitor employees. Employees have a reasonable expectation of privacy in restrooms and locker rooms. In most states it is illegal to monitor employees while they are in the restroom or locker room because activities that are carried out in these places are things that are not normally done in public. They are private acts, and the employee has a reasonable expectation of privacy during these activities.

There are also legal issues surrounding the monitoring of underage employees in places where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. In many states, lawsuits and criminal charges can be brought against employers that conduct monitoring of minors during private moments.

Employers that practice workplace monitoring should have clear policies on what activities they monitor. They should have a company resource use policy which is clear, and states exactly what the employer’s expectations of employees are in relation to the written policies.

From the standpoint of the employee, trust and value as an employee is important when it comes to performing the job effectively. Most employees don’t want their every move scrutinized, and constant monitoring is cause of controversy regarding this widespread practice. In organizations where employee monitoring is intense, employee morale is diminished, and productivity is lower than in organizations where employee monitoring is reasonable.

Employee Rules

Telephone use - use company telephones for corporate business only. Receive and place personal calls from a personal cell phone or from a phone that is designated by the employer for personal use.

Voice mail - use company voice mail for business only. Encourage family and friends to leave personal voice mail on your home voice mail or personal cell phone.

Email - use the company email system for company business only. Don’t check a web-based email account such as Yahoo or Hotmail from a company computer because the contents of the email will also be monitored. Limit sending and receiving personal email to non-company computers.

Internet — use the Internet from company computers for work purposes only. Resist the temptation to surf and visit websites that are not related to the job being performed.

Company computers and hard-drives - use for work and storage of company documents. Do not use the company computer for personal use, and do not store personal documents on the hard-drive of the computer.

Instant messaging — some companies use instant messaging to cut down on communication time. Instant messaging on a company computer should be used as a business communication tool. Don’t conduct personal conversations in IM except from a non-company computer.

Company vehicle or cell phone — if a company car or cell phone is provided to use for the job, use it for work related functions only. Doing personal errands in a company car, or having personal conversations on a company cell phone is overstepping boundaries and is not acceptable behavior.

The majority of employers do monitor their employees. If employee monitoring is not tolerable, it is best not to apply for a job at that company. Most companies will state prior to hire if they have employee monitoring in place. If there are questions, ask them. It is better to be informed before hire than to be hired and walk away from a job because the electronic eyes and ears are watching and listening.

Tips for Employee Computer Monitoring

admin — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:56:25 +0000

Communication is Key

Perhaps as important as having a detailed workplace monitoring policy is a plan to commuticate the policy to your employees. Some tips include:

• Make sure your employees know how they are being monitored - and why they are being monitored

• Be clear with your employees about what you will, or will not, monitor. Although some recent court decisions have supported employers who snooped when they said they wouldn’t, such practices can create a negative work environment and can pose a greater threat to workplace productivity.

• Distribute the policy in writing and have employees sign off on its content.

• Train your managers and supervisors to recognize when communication tools are being misused.

• Be reasonable about what constitutes “infringement.” Oppressive workplace mornitoring will foster employee ill will and can create retention problems.

• Enforce your policies equally throughout the blub.

Employee Computer Monitoring is Necessary

admin — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 05:44:10 +0000

Remote Monitoring with software is necessary. We always use software to monitor but we can not always be in one place to check the monitoring logs.

Remote monitoring software gives us the ability to monitor from a distance in real time from any computer with an Internet connection.
Remote monitoring means that you do not need to have physical access to the computers that you want to monitor, and means that you can monitor the computers no matter where you are, how far you are from the computer. You can moitor remotely in another room, at work or away on a business trip, just from a computer with an internet connection.

The presence of remote monitoring software means that you will always know how your your employee/child/spouse is using their computer. Even if you are on the other side of the world, you can check on a computer to make sure that he or she is not abusing his or her computer time.

It means that as a boss, you no longer have to be in your company to know what your employees are doing. And as a parent, you no longer have to wait until you get home from work to find out what your children have been doing on the Internet with their computer. Or, if you have to be away on business, you don’t have to wait days or weeks to find out what your employees/children have been getting up to on-line with their computer. Keeping a track on your employees/children from a distance is necessary to make sure everything is in control.

Over Half of All Employers Combined Fire Workers for E-Mail & Internet Abuse

admin — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 12:02:58 +0000

NEW YORK, February 28, 2008—From e-mail monitoring and Website blocking to phone tapping and GPS tracking, employers increasingly combine technology with policy to manage productivity and minimize litigation, security, and other risks. To motivate compliance with rules and policies, more than one fourth of employers have fired workers for misusing e-mail and nearly one third have fired employees for misusing the Internet, according to the 2007 Electronic Monitoring & Surveillance Survey from American Management Association (AMA) and The ePolicy Institute.

E-Mail and Internet-Related Terminations:

The 28% of employers who have fired workers for e-mail misuse did so for the following reasons: violation of any company policy (64%); inappropriate or offensive language (62%); excessive personal use (26%); breach of confidentiality rules (22%); other (12%).

The 30% of bosses who have fired workers for Internet misuse cite the following reasons: viewing, downloading, or uploading inappropriate/offensive content (84%); violation of any company policy (48%); excessive personal use (34%); other (9%).

Internet, E-Mail, Blogs and Social Networking:

Employers are primarily concerned about inappropriate Web surfing, with 66% monitoring Internet connections. Fully 65% of companies use software to block connections to inappropriate Websites—a 27% increase since 2001 when AMA/ePolicy Institute first surveyed electronic monitoring and surveillance policies and procedures. Employers who block access to the Web are concerned about employees visiting adult sites with sexual, romantic, or pornographic content (96%); game sites (61%); social networking sites (50%); entertainment sites (40%); shopping/auction sites (27%); and sports sites (21%). In addition, companies use URL blocks to stop employees from visiting external blogs (18%).

Computer monitoring takes many forms, with 45% of employers tracking content, keystrokes, and time spent at the keyboard. Another 43% store and review computer files. In addition, 12% monitor the blogosphere to see what is being written about the company, and another 10% monitor social networking sites.

Of the 43% of companies that monitor e-mail, 73% use technology tools to automatically monitor e-mail and 40% assign an individual to manually read and review e-mail.

“Concern over litigation and the role electronic evidence plays in lawsuits and regulatory investigations has spurred more employers to monitor online activity. Data security and employee productivity concerns also motivate employers to monitor Web and e-mail use and content,” said Nancy Flynn, executive director of The ePolicy Institute and author of The ePolicy Handbook, 2nd Edition (AMACOM, 2008), E-Mail Rules (AMACOM 2003), Instant Messaging Rules (AMACOM 2004), Blog Rules (AMACOM 2006), and other books related to workplace computer use.

“Workers’ e-mail and other electronically stored information create written business records that are the electronic equivalent of DNA evidence,” said Flynn, noting that 24% of employers have had e-mail subpoenaed by courts and regulators and another 15% have battled workplace lawsuits triggered by employee e-mail, according to 2006 AMA/ ePolicy research. “To help control the risk of litigation, security breaches and other electronic disasters, employers should take advantage of monitoring and blocking technology to battle people problems—including the accidental and intentional misuse of computer systems and other electronic resources,” Flynn said.

While only two states, Delaware and Connecticut, require employers to notify employees of monitoring, the majority are doing a good job of alerting employees when they are being watched. Fully 83% inform workers that the company is monitoring content, keystrokes and time spent at the keyboard; 84% let employees know the company reviews computer activity; and 71% alert employees to e-mail monitoring. But are employers doing enough to educate employees on their specific policies?

“Most employees receive policies regarding use of office business tools and privacy issues on the first day of employment, but too often they don’t read them. Employers need to do more than hand over a written policy,” says Manny Avramidis, senior vice president of global human resources for AMA. “They should educate employees on company expectations and offer training on an annual basis.”

Telephone and Voice Mail:

Six percent of employers have fired employees for misuse or private use of office phones. Fully 45% monitor time spent and numbers called, and another 16% record phone conversations. An additional 9% monitor employees’ voicemail messages. Most employers notify employees of phone (84%) and voicemail (73%) monitoring.

Video Surveillance:

Almost half (48%) of the companies surveyed use video monitoring to counter theft, violence and sabotage. Only 7% use video surveillance to track employees’ on-the-job performance. Most employers notify employees of anti-theft video surveillance (78%) and performance-related video monitoring (89%).

Global Satellite Positioning and Emerging Surveillance Technology:

Employers who use Assisted Global Positioning or Global Positioning Systems satellite technology are in the minority, with only 8% using GPS to track company vehicles; 3% using GPS to monitor cell phones; and fewer than 1% using GPS to monitor employee ID/Smartcards. The majority (52%) of companies employ Smartcard technology to control physical security and access to buildings and data centers. Trailing far behind is the use of technology that enables fingerprint scans (2%), facial recognition (0.4%) and iris scans (0.4%).

The 2007 Electronic Monitoring & Surveillance Survey is co-sponsored by American Management Association (www.amanet.org) and The ePolicy Institute (www.epolicyinstitute.com). Of the 304 U.S. companies that participated: 27% represent companies employing 100 or fewer workers, 101–500 employees (27%), 501–1,000 (12%), 1,001–2,500 (12%), 2,501–5,000 (10%) and 5,001 or more (12%).

The 2007 Electronic Monitoring & Surveillance Survey summary and interviews are available upon request. Media wishing to receive review copies of Nancy Flynn’s latest books, The ePolicy Handbook, 2nd Edition (AMACOM, September 2008) or Blog Rules: A Business Guide to Managing Policy, Public Relations, and Legal Issues (AMACOM Books 2006) should contact AMACOM’s Irene Majuk (212-903-8087 or imajuk@amanet.org).

Monitoring Your Employees Computer Saves Money and improve productivity

admin — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 01:22:46 +0000

NetVizor employee computer monitoring software allows businesses to secretly monitor all computer and Internet activity of every employee on their network. Stop employee computer abuse and increase profits instantly.
February 10, 2008 — Spytech Computer Monitoring Software is proud to announce the latest release of its award winning employee monitoring software, NetVizor 5.30, allowing businesses to secretly monitor all computer and Internet activities of every employee on their network.

With NetVizor, businesses now have the power to record and log all keystrokes, websites visited, emails sent/received, windows opened, applications ran, chat/instant message conversations, Internet connections made, software installed, print jobs executed, and even capture actual screenshots of any computer in use on the network. All of this is available remotely, in real-time, from one central location. Sit at your desk and view the activities of any computer or employee for the entire company from the convenience of your own desk!

Additional features include content filtering, application filtering, and chat filtering. These powerful added features allow you to prevent access to any program, game, website, or chat service instantly across your entire network. Instantly prevent access to programs or areas of the computer which are not work related for all your employees. Email alerts allow supervisors to be notified instantly when an activity has been filtered and who was denied access.

Most businesses do not realize the actual amount of productivity loss due to employees who play games, perform online shopping, trade stocks, chat with friends, and other non-work related activities. With computers and the Internet in general becoming more powerful by the day, loss of productivity within your employees is on a steady rise.
Here is a report:
• 56.5% of employees feel that surfing the Net or sending non-work-related E-mails decreases productivity, and 31% of employers said that they restrict employee Internet/E-mail usage. (Vault.com survey)
• In 2001, 60.7% of employees surveyed said they visit Web sites or surf for personal use at work (up from 50.7% in 2000). (UCLA study on Internet/E-mail use)
• 70% of all Internet porn traffic occurs during the nine-to-five workday. (SexTracker)
• 31.2% of employees feel it is appropriate to surf non-work-related sites up to 30 minutes a day, 14.8% said up to one hour is appropriate, and 9% said over an hour, while only 26.6% of employers feel it is appropriate for employees to surf non-work-related sites up to 30 minutes, 8.6% said up to one hour, and 4.2% said over an hour. (Vault.com survey)

It is estimated that every employee spends roughly 75 minutes per day being unproductive on their computer through non-work related activity. Taking that figure into account with the U.S. average salary of $20 per hour gives us roughly $6,250 wasted per employee per year due to being unproductive. Using these statistics, a company with 100 employees would be losing $625,000 annually and $6,250,000 annually with 1,000 employees on staff.

Implementing NetVizor across your Network is quick and easy while providing unmatched monitoring power to instantly increase employee productivity within your company and thus increase your profits all while eliminating computer abuse.

About Employee Computer Monitoring Software:
Employee Computer Monitoring Software has been world recognized as a leader in the computer monitoring and security software for over 6 years. They have been publicized and awarded by major news and media outlets all over the world.

where do I stand when it comes to monitoring my employee’s internet usage?

admin — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 08:58:51 +0000

Question, where do I stand when it comes to monitoring my employee’s internet usage?

When i visit one of my companies, I have noticed when walking past that the person in question has their MSN box open and emails open in a small window thinking no one will see…. I believe it’s affecting thier work and therefore costing me money.

I have no problem with personal access to these things as long as it is not affecting work and they are not taking the Mick..

So, is there any legal implications to store this information and use in future for disciplinary reasons?

Answers:
1. I removed msn from my staff’s PCs. You can also get a firewall to block hotmail, yahoo, facebook etc.

Also, provide your staff with an internet and pc policy, get them to sign it and if they breach it, then follow the correct procedures.

2. we come across this problem regularly amongst our customers.

you are legally entitled to monitor your bandwidth and the website traffic. If you want your staff to abide by any company rules regarding internet and email then as Richie says, you must get them to sign saying they agree to the rules and are aware of them.

we install managed firewalls, pre-configured to give you reports on company useage, it’s amazing how many people abuse the use of the internet. one company who had 10 accounts staff found out 8 of them where playing games with each other on facebook all day, literally only 2 were doing any work.

we can block or allow all forms of website traffic, either for the whole company or for individuals within the company.

the time it takes to think about and respond to an instant message soon adds up, if you want costs for our services check out our website and give me a call.

3. NetVizor’s logging capabilities are virtually limitless. NetVizor can log keystrokes typed, application and website usage, detailed file system usage, incoming and outgoing chats and emails, windows interacted with, desktop screenshots, internet packet data, software installations, internet connections, and much more. All activities logged can be tied together and presented in easy-to-read graphical reports.

Spyware VS. Spy Software - What is the Difference?

admin — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 04:39:21 +0000

By now, you have probably read news articles about spyware and how its plaguing internet users. Many times spy software is confused with spyware - this page will clear up the difference between the two.

At its most basic definition, spyware is software technology that gathers information about a computer user with or without their knowledge. Typically, this type of spyware is also known as adware. This software is often installed along with other software installations - it piggybacks onto your system - usually without you knowing at all. This software then reports back what websites you frequent, what your interests are, demographic information, and more to the creators of the spyware. This information is then sold to marketing companies and other interested parties. This is NOT what our spy software does.

Computer monitoring software, also known as Spy software, is used to monitor or record all activities occurring on a users computer. This software is installed directly by the user wanting to perform the monitoring - rather than hiding it on top of another software installation. Spy software can be loaded intentionally by the purchaser of the software, or from an attachment in an email. Our spy software can be configured to alert the user they are being monitored, or it can run totally invisible to the user. Our spy software can record nearly every aspect of what a user does on their computer - but it is never reported to anyone else but the actual purchaser of the software.

Who uses spy software?

Our spy software is actively used by concerned parents, worried spouses, government offices, corporate networks, and educational institutions. Spytech has helped countless businesses, educational institutions, parents, and spouses put their mind at ease over how their computers are being used. With our spy software, all activities can be tracked to be used for incrimination in case a user abuses their computer privileges - or it can be used as a visible deterrent from performing inappropriate activities, if the software is configured to alert users they are being monitored.

How could it benefit you?

By now you might be wondering how spy software could work for you. Here are some possible scenarios that you might fall into.

Parental Control
As a parent, you always wonder about how your child uses the computer. With our software you do not need to wonder anymore. All usage is logged: internet connections, websites visited, windows opened, emails, conversations, everything they typed, and so forth. Now you will be able to view and moderate your child’s computer usage. Our software also allows for content filtering to restrict your children from viewing inappropriate websites, applications, and more.

Spousal Monitoring
As much as we would like it not to happen - unfaithfulness in relationships does occur. If you have ever wondered if your spouse is talking to a secret admirer via the Internet, our software is your solution. You can track their emails and web activity just incase they are being unfaithful.

Business Administration
Our spy software can be used for employee monitoring. It can make sure employees stay on task and do not abuse business machines and work time. Monitoring policies can be set in place to let employees know that they may be being watched.

School/Institutions
With our spy software running on school/institutional workstations, machine abuse and misuse is a thing of the past. Actions can be tracked down to individual users according to the time and date in which they happened, and can be saved to convenient logs for incrimination.

Personal Control and File Backup
If privacy is a concern of yours, then our software can help. You can enable our software while you go away from the computer and all activities while your away are logged. Spy software can even be used to save documents that have been lost due to system crashes - if you have the keystroke monitoring enabled!

Is this software legal?
