The goal of a group of developers at the University of Arizona, USA, is to avoid wasting time during the workday, restrict access to social networks, memes, GIFs or other issues that distract workers from their activities
Under the term “cyberloafing” wasting time reviewing causing social networking, personal messaging, pages GIFs, videos or music.; the researchers explained that according to a study by the University of Nevads this phenomenon of loss of time and productivity costs businesses in the United States more than 85 billion dollars a year.
Another the consequences of the “cyberloafing” in organizations is the increase in security gaps and increased consumption of bandwidth.
Prohibit or regulate?
for this group of researchers reality it is that sometimes these weapons of idleness, are also useful in the dynamics of work. Before his eyes, the option is to develop a program that regulates the activity of users on the network
The system created by the team of researcher Jeremy Glassman cleaves Internet at three sites. The ever permitted, prohibited and which it can be occasionally used. If a user enters a site banned the program notifies you through a screen that is accessing a site that has no relationship to their work.
The program allows users to enter the so-called sites “leisure” for a period of 10 minutes, with a limit of 90 minutes a day, once exceeded the time limit the site is blocked completely.
the software will offer the option to set the entry to some sites “forbidden” or limited if the employee has a serious justification and make sense of their superior.
