Re: Inappropriate Use of the Computers

It has come to the management’s attention that there is quite a large number of employees who are engaging in the inappropriate use of the computer facilities available to the staff. These facilities are only meant to be used in works and activities that are company related. Such activities are listed in the “use of company facilities” form given to every individual annually. Activities such as browsing the internet in search of personal interests, emailing to friends, accessing the social sites and poor control of the facilities are examples of the activities spotted in a number of employees. The following are policies governing the use of electronic facilities and the actions to be taken when they are violated.

Policies

Record Storage: The computers will only be used in the storage of company-related records in accordance to once responsibilities or as asked by ones superior. Personal records and works should not be stored in these electronic devices unless told otherwise by once senior. In case of uncertainty, one should enquire from their direct management.

Internet Use: The internet should only be used when researching for information that is of significance to the company and when passing information that is company related. If one requires it for personal purposes, they should first enquire from their direct managers/ supervisors.

Care: It is the responsibility of every individual to take care of the electronic devices they have been given to use. Computers and other electronic devices should be switched off when not in use.
