*** Legal Exposure ***

Pornography.. Gambling-online... Hate speech... Criminal skills... Never mind wasting time. What about liability for enabling undesirable content to enter the workplace?

Your company's policies wouldn't allow an employee to bring porn or racist pamphlets or the directions for virus-making into the workplace. You certainly wouldn't allow workers to speculate in the stock market at their desks. Allowing workers to visit sexually explicit Web sites leaves your company open to harassment charges from workers who may not appreciate what appears on their office mate's screen.

On-line surfing costs time and money. The promise of the Information Age is efficiency. But the Internet is delivering camouflage for employees to check our games, sport scores, financial news, and centerfolds.

For example, The Gartner Group, Inc., A Connecticut company specializing in information technology analysis, concluded that this unproductivity factor could run 100 hours annually per employee as workers explore Web sites for essentially personal reasons. For 1,000 employee-company, this waste translated into 270 man-hours per day, or $5,400 at $20 an hour.
