One-third of Brits look for new jobs on company PCs

By Nikki Barrister

Over one-third of employees in the UK have admitted to looking for a new job using their work email.

Research carried out by IT security group Proofpoint indicates UK staff use their workplace connection for a range of social functions, including giving bad news (41.5 per cent), arranging after-work activities (86.6 per cent) and ending relationships (26.3 per cent).

Some 35.8 per cent of respondents admitted to applying for new positions, such as sales jobs, via their workplace email.

The company's managing director in Europe, the Middle East and Africa David Stanley commented: "Brits certainly take a few liberties with their email but companies should expect this, as they ask staff to work longer hours at their desks. However, companies need to ensure staff don't get them into trouble if email abuses escalate."

He went on to say that some staff could find they have legal problems by sending or opening the wrong email.

This week, recruitment advice group HireScores.com stated that job candidates are increasingly seeking professional advice about the legalities regarding inaccurate information on their CVs.
