Advantages of monitering are that it can stop employees wasting valuable company resources, by playing games or are sharing private information about the company with anyone else, along with monitering the type of content its employees are looking at (e.g unsuitable content such as pornographic material). It does however, pose the question as to whether it is an invasion of privacy. It could be seen as that, as it feels like big brother is always watching, and this can lead to the alienation of staff, as they feel like they cannot be trusted.
However it can also help employees. It can protect them from the explict material or a disturbing nature, and also stop bullying between staff. However, they will be noticed every time they mention the company, and also it can block any sites that could be helpful.
Overall, the monitering of the use of email and internet should be loosened somewhat, so as to provide an overall better workplace.
