RE: How can you manage/control Instant messaging to professional/work related use to prevent abusing it by having employees sending jokes to each other all day?
Geza There's a very simple answer - set an EMPLOYEE POLICY, archive all messages and ENFORCE the policy. 1st offense - warning - make certain it is written and the employee signs and receives a copy. 2nd offense - warning and day off without pay - make certain it is written and the employee signs and receives a copy. 3rd offense - no more job Everyone else will very quickly get the message. <anti-flaming firewall> Please, don't tell me I'm being too tough on employees - we've gotten way too lenient and need to start taking control of our workplaces again. </anti-flaming firewall> To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
