According to a recent Accountemps survey, 21% of workers are going to be spending up to 3 hours at work doing their on line holiday shopping and employers are not going to be too happy.
I can remember in my corporate time a few years ago when we were given half a day near Christmas to do some shopping.
With Black Friday in the US fast approaching and Christmas just aorund the corner perhaps letting employees do a little surfing to shop is a way of showing some thanks and festive cheer. It might be remembered longer than the recent IT policy to block access to Facebook!
