According to my view in this busy professional world we all are forced to leave aside our personal life. Organizations in order to keep their professional secrets are intervening inthe personal life...accessing their mail accounts having CCTV at their workstations all seems to b sometimes unnecessary.

These things highly depend on the organizational climate, environment, its security policy and nature of business.

Yes I do accept that up to some extent they are intervening in our personal life.

Attack on personal life by organisations happens for variety of reasons. Some of these might be because of employees who bring personal work to office. Lets take an example of an employee who deals in stockmarkets too. S/he would use office office net and office hours for information and transaction.

Another example is that of employees using office telephones during office hours for their personal work. Gossiping and passing comments at each other is favourate time pass of employees.

Is organisation not justified in putting a check on such employees? 

Hi All,

I do agree with all the comments you have mentioned .Even in our company we have cctv,phone tapeing,internet browsing apart form google and HR site( for me  ) I do agree that employee do gossip and do timepass in the office by useing Phones and internet.Company is justifying this but than Mgmt also have to understand employee's point of view.Employee cant work 8 hrs comtinuesly rt...

We do not have anything..like no music , no chit-chating ,cant go to anyone's workstation,cant use internet (news websits are also blocked)

Being into HR i have to do something for my employees so that they can feel motivated and perform better but unable to do so....Any suggestion on this....

Hi All;

I firmly belive that attack on personal life by organisations can happen only if we the employees working in the organisation allow them to do so.
