Internet monitoring - yes or no? 30th May 2012 1:39 PM
“Hi all.
What is your opinion about internet monitoring in company? Could employees see this as spying and can this cause unrest among them? I would like to track how much time is spent on different websites instead of work and that is the reason for this question. Is there probably a free software used to monitor internet activity?”

I understand your concern and your need for monitoring your employees. As far as I'm informed, but I see some other forum members have even more accurate info on the matter, monitoring the employees' network activity is allowed as long as they are aware of it. I personally think it is fair to do it as well; as much as they think it is appropriate to use their working time for personal matters, you as the employer have the right to make sure they don't do that, as it is a way of procrastinating. I am using a very easy-to-use but effective free software called My Team Monitor. It takes screenshots of each employee's computers separately every 5 minutes, and it also records the number of keystrokes and mouse clicks they make and when, so you can track what they were doing, when, and how. You can learn more about the program and register for free at their website (if you google: myteammonitor, it will be among the top ranking websites with 'myteammonitor' in the url)
