Just a quick update on an interesting article that my boss passed along this morning: Putting a Fair Internet Use Policy in Place by BusinessWeek columnist Karen E. Klein.
With the holidays upon us, many of us might be perusing online stores on company time. Internet shopping is easy, often less expensive and - most importantly - requires one tiny fraction of the time that buying in a store does. Even if you storm in, eyes aimed forward, with exactly what you want in mind, it’s infinitely simpler to click around a quiet website and have the product delivered to wherever it should be.
It’s important for business owners - especially small business owners - to keep this in mind, as web-surfing employees are likely risking the security and productivity of your company. By recognizing the need for monitoring internet activity and subsequently implementing a solid fair use internet policy, you can protect yourself against any losses this season incurred by workers using company computers to cross off items on their shopping list.
TemplateZone is well aware that writing thorough business and HR policies (such as those required to define acceptable internet usage) can be a pain. It requires research, writing, editing, and approval - and delays in any of these areas could waste more than just your company’s time.
It’s essential to protect your business with a comprehensive employee handbook and e-policy manual so that you can streamline everyday business activity and concentrate on generating revenue.
So we developed our Office Policy Manual software: a collection of polished employee handbooks, e-policies, HR forms and job descriptions guaranteed to cover all of your bases. All documents are fully customizable and pre-approved by industry experts.
