Reasoning A survey by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has shown that whilst employees use the internet mostly for work, they spend on average an equivalent of ten days a year using the internet for personal use during working hours. The survey of more than 500 member organisations found that this is costing the country over £10 billion a year in lost business. Extreme examples include one employee who spent all day playing a fantasy game on the internet and another who ran his own internet buying and selling business on his office computer. Both have been dismissed. A different survey of nearly 800 office workers conducted by Global Secure Systems revealed that on average staff spend half an hour a day on social networking sites during working hours. Some companies, however, condone the use of the internet for personal use, especially social networking sites. Indeed, the deputy director general of the CBI, John Cridland, believes that sensible use of the internet can improve productivity and morale.
