It's a reasonable idea, but I don't know if "public" is the best approach. Unless you meant "internally-public", in which case I think it's a pretty good idea.

Unfortunately, in most cases it is not simply employee laziness that drives people to waste time online, but a dull, non-challenging task which could be completed in an hour or two if it did not mean simply receiving additional work with no real benefit. In other words, I feel like the situations where it would be necessary would almost always be the same situations where the employee is actually acting rationally.
- dkokelley 19y agoYeah I meant internally public. You can't have outsiders (competitors) knowing what your employee's surfing habits are. They could have certain projects compromised. Of course if your employees are visiting these sites out of sheer boredom, then there's another issue taking place. If the management (don't know how large this company is) is good enough, they could watch the trends in their employee's surfing and turn it into a time to learn why they're spending so much time on non-work related sites, and hopefully provide them with more meaningful and efficient work.
