Four In 10 U.S. Companies Discipline Workers for Porn
Forty percent of the largest 500 U.S. companies have disciplined employees over Internet porn and other illicit images in the last 12 months, a market research firm said Monday.
In addition, of those U.S. firms that pursued an investigation into illicit images, some 44 percent fired employees involved in the incidents, and 41 percent took some other disciplinary action, according to Delta Consulting's 2005 Computer Usage Policy Study.
The rate of disciplinary action, however, was far less than in the United Kingdom, where a recent third-party survey found that 70 percent of companies had taken porn-related disciplinary actions against workers, Delta said.
