Cyberslacker

Because Internet connection speeds have increased and are now available in most workplaces, cyberslacking incidents have markedly increased, leading to a significant decrease in work productivity and workforce inefficiency.

Businesses have established ways to reduce or prevent cyberslacking behaviors from staff members to improve work productivity. These include:

• Using surveillance software to track online activities of employees
• Installing proxy servers to restrict employee access to sites that are inappropriate or not related to work
• Setting up strict disciplinary measures for caught cyberslacking employees
• Providing free Internet access for employees after working hours
