Just in time for Cyber
Monday, a new survey suggests companies are a little more lenient today when it
comes to letting employees shop online during business hours. Only one-third
(33 percent) of chief information officers (CIOs) interviewed by staffing firm
Robert Half Technology said their companies block access to online shopping
sites – down from 60 percent last year. Another 55 percent said they allow
access but monitor activity for excessive use. One in 10 (10 percent) reported
that their firms allow unrestricted access.
The survey was
developed by Robert Half Technology, a provider of information technology (IT)
professionals on a project and full-time basis. It was conducted by an
independent research firm and is based on telephone interviews with more than
1,400 CIOs from companies across the United States with 100 or more employees.
CIOs were asked,
"What is your company's policy regarding employees shopping online while
at work?" Their responses:
