Monitoring employees on networks

1- Yes I do think that the managers should monitor its

employees email and network but to a certain limit.
There’s a lot of pros for monitoring an employee’s email and
internet:
*May reduce theft
*Can help to monitor and ensure safe practices are being
followed
*Helps to uncover problems, like harassment
*the employee won’t waste his time because he knows that he
is being monitored so he will be more productive.
*avoid lawsuit that can be caused if an employee sent
something that is illegal
There’s a lot of cons also but I think that if the monitoring was
done in an appropriate and respectful way , the cons won’t be
so many.
It’s important to monitor an employee ‘s activities to make sure
that they are not wasting their and the companies time and
resource and to ensure that they are productive ,but the
manager should inform the employees that they are being
monitored to show them respect
2-An effective Email and web use policy for a company should
consist of :
*the employees should be informed that they are being
monitored
*Should give the employees some privacy by not putting
camera in the break room and by not tracking the employee’s
phone,
*should monitor the programs on the computers and explain to
the employee what is acceptable and what is not
*Every month there should be a meeting with the employees
and managers to see if there is any concerns or any new ideas
to make the monitoring more comfortable and more easy on
the employees and if there’s any problem that should be
solved.
*create a monitoring program that warns the employee before
entering a program that is not work related

3- The manager should inform the employees that they are

being monitored so that the trust between them won’t be
broken .
The employees have the right to know that they are being
monitored so that they can be warn before thinking about
breaking any rule and to feel that the workplace is a safe
environment where they can talk to the managers about their
concerns or problems that they are facing
