Web filtering for Healthcare organisations

Did you know?

• 40% of employee Internet use in the workplace is non-work related (IDC)
• 25% of companies have dismissed employees for Internet misuse (Personnel Today Magazine)
• 14.6% of employees admitted to surfing the net constantly at work (vault.com)
• 46% of on line shopping occurs at work (Business Software Alliance)
• 10% of internet users are addicted (New York Times)

The health sector faces many of the same issues concerning Internet access as corporate organisations: they want to prevent legal liability, increase employee productivity and stop inappropriate Internet access.

Legally, inappropriate Internet access can have serious ramifications. It is increasingly common for employees to sue employers over exposure to offensive material within the workplace. The distractions the Internet provides are a major source of decreased productivity in the workplace and in an area such as healthcare this is a serious issue.
