Only, 2 percent of women use web to hunt jobs
Mumbai: 93 percent of women employees in India use Internet to have 'fun' and interact with friends. At the same time it is seen that male employees use the Internet for business. Around 32-35 percent of the male respondents go online for business- and job-related purposes. Only two percent of female employees use the net's resources to hunt for a job. According to a recent study conducted by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India's (Assocham) Social Development Foundation (ASDF), corporate women spend most of their online time chatting with friends, mainly on social networking sites. Less than 71 percent of male employees are guilty of this. Assocham Research shows that nearly half of office employees access social networking sites such as Facebook during office work. Moreover, four in every 10 workers built their entire Orkut, Facebook profile during work. Releasing findings of ASDF survey, ASSOCHAM Secretary General D S Rawat said, majority of companies effectively lose close to 12.5 percent of total productivity each day since their employee keep accessing aforesaid sites. As a matter of fact growing use of browsing sites can be dangerous for overall productivity and IT companies have already installed software to restrict its use, added Rawat.
