Survey 9 - "From the following different types of websites, what
order of importance/relevance/priority do you have them in your
favourites on your computer at work?"
- new sites, - job sites/boards, - sports sites, - personal email
sites,
- work-related sites, - holidays/shopping/travel/leisure sites
Research by TipTopJob reveals that employees keep their favourites
list relevant to their work and job in hand. 80% of respondents put
work-related websites as number 1 in their list of favourites that
they have stored in their browser.
The survey asked employees in a small UK company what order they
put their most used websites in for quick and simple access. Work-related
sites, job boards, news, sports, personal emails and holiday/leisure/shopping
and travel sites were ordered with regards to importance/priority/relevance.
30% of employees admitted putting job boards second in their list.
10% put them last and the remaining 60% placed them mid-range. Clearly,
employees are still keeping job board websites in their favourites
list to check up on the latest jobs available on the Internet and
keep their eyes out for their next potential job. Just make sure
your boss doesn’t catch you when you are conducting your next
job search.
The majority of employees put holiday/leisure/shopping and travel
sites at the bottom of their list. In fact, a massive 90% find them
the least important, rating them as one of the last 3 in the list.
Personal emails, such as, hotmail and yahoo were put in the top
3 for 50% of responders. Some individuals use their personal emails
for work-related correspondence explaining their high rating but
this response does suggest a slight concern for private correspondence
throughout the day.
News and sports sites resulted in a range of response with about
half of the responders putting them highly in the list and about
half at the bottom. All this reveals is that employees like to check
the latest football/cricket scores and keep updated with the latest
news and headlines.
Favourites allow Internet users to access their most used websites
quickly and easily. TipTopJob's survey reveals that although
there is still a common desire to have non work-related websites somewhere
in their favourites for easy access, the majority of employees prefer
to use their favourites to help them access work-related websites.
