Company Property

• Most companies have guidelines governing the use of company property such as telephones, office equipment, office supplies, the Internet, and e-mail.
• If you are employed, ask your supervisor for a copy of the company's policies on the use of its property. If you are not employed, ask your parents if they can bring you the guidelines from their workplace.
• Using your favorite search engine, find a company on the Web that has posted its policies on the use of company property.
• Prepare a presentation outlining the most common guidelines of the policies you review.
