Provisional Project Title

Organisational benefits of security surveillance. Surveillance is the practice of watching over a given terrain, its inhabitants, and their relations, commonly for the purpose of exercising instrumental control over that which is being watched.

Outline of the Project Environment

Client is a local firm deals in providing consultancy services to its various customers, the problem of firm is that their employees are not working efficiently and behaviour of some employees is not appropriate with clients and with other employees in the firm, which effects the productivity of firm and due to this reason firm can lose its valuable customers in future.

But some employees take advantage of this form of quick communication and spend valuable time sending that perfect titbit of humour. Big problems arise when one or more of the recipients do not find the joke funny or are offended by it. In some cases, this can lead to a lawsuit. There is also employee refuses to follow directions and instructions. Their personal behaviour may make everyone around them uncomfortable or even form a hostile work environment. Sometimes these employees have a following of other co-workers who are just as abusive and insubordinate. Typically co-workers do not expect much from these employees and everyone is demoralized because of it. Usually other employees have to pick up additional work so the project gets done.

Solution I proposed for that problem is surveillance, in its simplest sense, surveillance is the act of observing or the condition of being observed, and it has always existed in some ...
