Recently, it has come across my attention that many companies, at least in this area, don't have computer/internet usage policies in place. Some of these companies are quite large and the idea that they have gone for as long as they have without such a policy baffles me. Following one these surprises, I was asked to explain what a usage policy is and give some samples.
Once again, I was baffled. A company manager asking what a usage policy is? The idea totally blindsided me. As a result, I decided to drop a quick guidlines as to what are some things you want in your usage policy and some things to consider. As for the samples, there was google and it was good.
