Business owners and managers need to know how to monitor their employees' web browsing. This information can be an important tool to know exactly what employees are doing during their work time. They need to know who is working productively and who is not working at all.
If your employees are spending their time at work playing online games, chatting with friends, sending emails, doing online banking, or surfing questionable sites, they probably aren't working. It's a shame that on payday, you still have to hand over the check. So what exactly are you paying for? By monitoring employee web browsing, you can see exactly who is doing the work and who is wasting the company's time.
These days, employees have access to the Internet at every workplace. In this environment, it is difficult to know which employees are using the Internet for business reasons and which are using it for personal reasons. By monitoring employees' browsing habits, you can find out exactly who visited which sites and how much time they spent there.
You should notify your employees at least once that you are monitoring their behavior. If you've warned them appropriately, it's not your problem if they don't pay attention or if they forget. If they start stumbling around, you have all the evidence you need to send them the other way.
In these tough economic times, good jobs are getting scarcer. You need to know those good people work and they don't take their jobs for granted. We don't need to keep people on the job who don't do the work.
