Probably this fear employees have is not because of their guilty conscience but because of concerns about illegitimate use against them.

In my opinion, Internet monitoring must be used mostly as a way to stop access to insecure sites that can infect a user’s computer and spread the infection over the network than for monitoring who is chatting on Facebook and who isn’t. Productivity can be increased when employees relax on fun sites but moderation is key here.
