Computer Rules

Computer Rules includes 33 separate employee computer policies (email, Internet, personal use, remote access, virus, unauthorized changes to computers, password ideas and more) in Microsoft Word so that you can make changes to the policies to meet your specific needs. The book comes complete with many examples of computer misuse many well-known companies have experienced (examples that will help you sell the policies you want to employees and management). The computer policy implementation section offers many useful suggestions for ensuring a smooth integration of your new policies. Computer Rules is the fastest way to create, or update, user policy. If you already have employee computer policy, compare policies created in-house with the policy experts. You'll be glad you did.
