E-Risk

In addition to lost productivity and reduced revenue, improper employee use of a company's computer systems can result in a significant exposure to legal liability. Statistics show over 27% of Fortune 500 companies have defended themselves against claims of sexual harassment stemming from inappropriate email and/or Internet use.

Do you want to reduce electronic risks in the workplace? Take the initiative. Don't wait for e-disaster to strike. Setting guidelines on employee use of company computer resources, including email, the Internet, and computer software can lower an organization's electronic risks. Establish a comprehensive "E-Policy" now which clearly spells out a company's expected standards of electronic behavior, along with monitoring and privacy standards.

For more information on E-Risk, see the July 2002 Issue of the Month entitled "E-Risk, Bad Email Is Bad Business," posted under Legal News on the Krukowski & Costello website.
