My own Perspective

Erwin Alday Alampay on his article and study on Monitoring Employee Use of the Internet in Philippine Organizations gives a very clear information on the real scenario and possible effects of the use of internet with no proper policy implementation.
This study examined the practices of Philippine organizations in monitoring employee use of the Internet. Some of the contents in the study are the following:

• Conducts surveys of 112 organizations representing a variety of industries reveal that two-thirds of organizations and business firms provide Internet access to all its employees although majority monitor employee Internet use, less that half have an internet use policy in place.
• Majority of organizations blocked some online content and applications particularly those related to pornography, gaming, and social networking.
• Most organizations report difficulties as getting virus due to downloaded materials and excessive chatting on the Internet and but despite for this. Results suggest the need for more organizations to articulate their policies on Internet use educate workers on internet security and formulate mechanisms to ensure the integrity of employee monitoring.
The study clearly stated the significant reasons why policy on internet use should be implemented on organizations and business firms. Security issues arise when talking about internet access. Viruses can come from internet file transfers and on some online sites like the ones listed above. Considering the fact that a business firm or a specific organization can afford to have an internet connection in their establishment and lets their employee use it, I think, planning and implementing policy with regards on internet use should be realized.
The study truly helps.
