Some ideas about the monitoring the use of Internet of the employees

In my opinion, monitoring employees during working hours in companies is essential. However, one important thing is that keeping the balance between guarding security and personal privacy. So, let me give some ideas about monitoring employees in accessing the internet network.
1. Giving the staff advance notice of the monitoring plan and receiving their feedback:

Bosses should explain to their staff about the monitoring software and the information which this software can give network administrators and some other managers. They should notify clearly the specific benefits, such as increasing productivity, improving safety and reducing concerns about internal fraud or other risks, otherwise it is certain that there is a strong response from their staff.
2. There are clear and specific guidelines about what behavior is not acceptable:

Outlining all situations which may occur is not possible. If the bosses plan to filter out a few specific sites, such as pornography, gambling or even other job sites, there is no reason to hide this with their staff. The employees will work better and be more responsible, if the bosses give them the more specific and clear instructions about inappropriate behavior. So the employees will know when they violate the rules of the company. As for personal e-mail or IM messenger, many employees may not realize that the personal messages not be encoded may be monitored. Please inform them about this.
3. Balancing reasonably between security and privacy:

It is clear that surveillance is not only simple to see if there is someone to edit the curriculum resume to send to a bigger company or not, but also to protect the company from leaking internal information to the competitors, to limit hackers or viruses, to avoid the abuse and the actions or behavior are not well suited, or even the security of both countries. However, the bosses should keep in mind that the excesses of employee monitoring can lead to contradictory results - such as this might be evidence against the company in litigation related legal.

Hopefully with a thorough consideration before progress of the monitoring the use of Internet in the company, the managers will achieve positive results. As a result, they can restrict and eliminate frauds, risks in business as well as inappropriate behaviors. On the other hand, they can significantly increase productivity and morale of their employees.
