28% of Polish employees admit to cyberslacking at work

According to a survey conducted by research institute CBOS, 7 percent of employees work on projects for other companies during their working hours, while 28 percent use the internet for non-work-related purposes, including internet surfing, social networks, as well as doing projects for other companies. Cyberslacking, using the internet for purposes other than work, “may also threaten the security of company information, its systems and personal data. Downloading unreliable files, opening suspicious emails and opening certain websites may lead to the company’s IT system being infected with viruses,” said Marcin Bręczewski, IT support director at IT Company.
