Monitoring internet and e-mail use

It certainly has some advantages, such as, it prevents employees from wasting time on the internet and looking work unrelated things, also, the employers are able to find out whether any workers are thinking about moving to a new job and it also makes their internet work space safer and lessens the risk of contracting viruses or getting any unwanted websites up and so forth.
It will most importantly have some negative impacts on the business as it is crowding workers independence and they are unlikely to want to work that way and it will probably force them more into looking for a new job which they wont search at work so the employers won't know about it and demonstartes that the employers have little trust in the workers and not many people are likely to want to work under these conditions.
I do not think it has many advantages for the employees accept them seem like good workers to the employers if they do not get reported for doing anything wrong ans the line manager will be able to send a positive report about them to their employer.
Sometimes it is necessary to use the internet for different things that usually wont be deemed for business purposes but on occasions it is and the employeees then have difficultly in doing so due to the monitoring system. An employee who only uses it for business purposes and feels that there is no need for their computers to be tracked and therefore will feel like it is an invasion of privacy and this can cause problems in the work place.
