Does Your Acceptable Usage Policy Address World Cup Surfing?

By Anna Kelpie

June 6, 2006

The latest annual CBI / AXA Absence Survey suggests that 40% of employers considered special events, like the forthcoming World Cup, as a likely cause of unwarranted absence.  Almost everyone will be interested in the progress of the tournament, particularly for the big matches.  Very few organisations have a formal policy to guide employees on the use of their computer in relation to this event.  As a consequence, most staff will take the view that “if no one says anything then it must be alright”.

With MetaCompliance Policy Communicator (MPC) from Baronscourt Technology, you can communicate best practice to your staff, which means you can deter abuse of your I.T assets.

MPC brings your employee handbook and acceptable usage policy to life.  You can dynamically change your policies to reflect the latest issue from ageism to internet time wasting, communicate to staff electronically and obtain an audit trail of their agreement.

You can visit Baronscourt Technology at the CIPD HR Software Show in the Olympia, London on 21-22 June 2006 (Stand B88) to discuss how our technology will allow you to meet legal requirements and avoid any misunderstandings or disputes amoung your employees.  Register your attendance at www.cipd.co.uk/hrss2. 

If you cannot attend the event, you can alternatively call me on 020 7917 9527 or email akelpie@eu-baronscourt.com to organise a no-obligation online demonstration of the software.
