CYBER SLACKING. How to prevent and monitor?
In accordance to latest comment published by blogproof, I’ve decided to find more information about the monitoring and filtering software. The results of my searches are below...Gallup estimates that the average employee with Internet access spends more than one hour per day surfing web sites that have nothing to do with their job (such as auction sites, sports sites, stock sites, news sites, gambling or sex sites). That is more than five hours per week!!!
In accordance to latest technology is it possible to monitor or to record everything your employees do online, including instant messages, chats, emails sent and received, web sites visited, applications launched, network connections established and bandwidth consumed, files downloaded, files copied to removable media, and keystrokes typed.
The filtering software
Filtering software blocks some of the sites your employees would want to visit. Theoretically, that cuts back on some non-work related surfing, but savvy surfers can always find a similar site that serves as a good substitute for the one the filtering software is blocking.
The bigger problem with filtering software is that it blocks many of the sites you want your employees to be able to access for business purposes. Although some filtering products do allow for the “unblocking” of blacklisted sites, do you really want the headaches associated with deciding what should be blocked and what should be available?
Finally, what is appropriate for one employee in one department may be off limits for an employee in another department. Although one size does not fit all, filtering products make the assumption that one solution works across the board.
The monitoring software
The monitoring software does not block, but of course it could. Instead, it watches, observes and records what your employees do and then provides you with the most detailed accounting of everything they do online of any Internet Monitoring product in the world. It records all web sites your employees visit, all chat conversations, all incoming and outgoing emails all applications run and all keystrokes typed. In addition, the monitoring software is constantly filming each computer, taking snapshots of whatever is on the computer screen, as often as once every second – with no degradation in speed or employee performance.
Interesting, isn’t it?
What about the ethical aspect of the CYBER SLACKING?

There should be no privacy at work I believe. Employees are on company's time, company's equipment and I do not see why they should be using internet for private purposes during work.. I'm not familiar with the American legislation with regards to this, but in my view this sentence was unfair to the employer..
Thank You for this link, I'll check it.
