We have had a long established practice of IT professionals being provided with PC’s for Home/Personal use, in the knowledge that it would benefit the organisation in them keeping up with trends, investigating new systems and learning upcoming operating and system releases in their own, unpaid time.
A change of management is now alleging that what has been done constitutes ‘missappropriation of the organisations assets’ and three long standing IT professionals have been suspended awaiting a disciplinary.
I would be grateful if anyone has seen any white papers or case studies that would back up the beneficial evidence of this practice as I believe it is fairly common amongst the industry.
Thanks for any assistance or help that you can provide.
