I would like to hear your personal or professional views on the monitoring of email communications when adopted within an organisation.

This will be an open discussion to try to get different views from employees, administrators, middle management and company directors.

If you can touch on issues such as:

• How monitoring may affect staff morale and performance?
• Your rights to personal communications (maintaining your rights to privacy within the workplace, aka, the US/EU law on maintaining your rights to private life)
• When should email monitoring be adopted within an organisation?
• What is good about email monitoring, and in what circumstances?
• What is bad about email monitoring, and how can it be implemented better?
• Examples in the use of over-invasive email monitoring methods
• Do you agree or disagree with the guidelines and national regulations governing the monitoring of emails within the workplace?
• What are the alternatives to email monitoring (e.g. user education, better policy setting)

You can add any other relevant topics/points into the discussion.

If you wish to have your say then feel free to add your comments to this blog post. I would love to hear your view on this topic.

Please do not list any company, vendor or product names (or other identifiable information). If you do so, then your comments will be deleted and your opinions will not be read.
