Did you know employees waste a quarter of their working time on personal websites? Costing firms over £130m a day!*

Research has shown that employees spend just over a quarter of their work time browsing eBay auctions, using online dating or social networking sites, as well as downloading movies and music.

Not only does this cost businesses thousands of pounds a day, but it in addition consumes bandwidth meant for business, and opens up the business networks to security risks such as spyware and viruses.

Rockford IT offers a cost effective solution from WatchGuard that helps businesses control the amount of time its employees browse the web for personal reasons, as well as limiting the sites they can visit.
