The Boss is Watching You Online at Work

About 25 percent of all U.S. workers admit to using the Internet while at work. That number grows well beyond 40 percent, say experts, on work days during major sports events, like March Madness or the World Series. The real question is, should companies trust their employees, or should they impose tougher guidelines on office computer use?

An informal survey of Inland Northwest companies shows that many more firms have begun using tools to track worker computer use. Those firms' managers say the increasing reliance on software that can filter or monitor what workers do on the Web are meant to protect companies from security problems and to ensure productivity. Some companies still believe in the trust-the-worker approach, which allows for personal use of office computers within reason.
