With the rise of automated digital advertising, marketers get the benefits of scale, low prices and precise targeting. But it also comes with the risk of your brand winding up in the wrong place. Those “brand safety” issues are becoming a recurring headache.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah, the FIFA Council member who also runs the Olympic Council of Asia, said on Sunday he was resigning all his posts in football after being drawn into the latest bribery scandal to hit FIFA.

The Kuwaiti issued a statement on Saturday “strongly” denying that he was one of the Asian Football Confederation officials described in U.S. Court documents as allegedly bribing a member of FIFA’s audit and compliance committee, Richard Lai.

“With regards to alleged illegal payments to Richard Lai, I can only refer to my previous statement and vigorously deny any wrongdoing,” Sheikh Ahmad said on Sunday.

A court in China on Friday (April 28 2017) jailed a former chairman of Baoshan Iron and Steel, who went on to become vice mayor of Shanghai, to 17 years for bribery and graft, a state broadcaster reported.

Ai Baojun had used his positions to amass more than 40 million yuan ($5.8 million) in assets from 2000 to 2014, a court in the southern city of Zhangzhou ruled, according to China Central Television (CCTV).

Ai is the most senior official from China’s financial hub to be sentenced in the corruption campaign. He could not be reached for comment.

5 things that are actually okay to search for on your work computer

http://ift.tt/2qemhvs

man student computer laptop working online

We all look up weird stuff on the internet from time to time.

But that’s a habit we should forego at our work computers. An inappropriate or suspicious internet search history could mean getting reprimanded or even fired.

That being said, not everything is off-limits when it comes to surfing the web on your work computer

In fact, there are some surprising searches that are just fine, for the most part.

The important caveat to all this is that, if you’re going to search for something that might raise a red flag, make sure your boss is okay with it. Otherwise, there’s always a possibility you could get called out later.

Here are a few searches that you likely won’t get busted for:

Anything that will help you be a better employee

Taking a moment during your workday to attempt to improve your career habits or increase your knowledge is a good thing.

That’s why productivity-boosting apps, news stories related to your industry, and even career-oriented articles (like the one you’re reading right at this moment) are all usually fine to look up on your work computer.

Susan Joyce, owner and operator of job search site Job-Hunt.org, added that searches that “help you perform your job better” are justified.

She said that even things like short exercise videos to do at your desk or music to listen to while you work are fine.

“It is arguable this might not be deemed as ‘work,’ but would be considered acceptable if it allowed an employee to remain engaged and productive,” Joyce said.

Shopping — within certain boundaries

Résumé Writers’ Ink founder and career expert Tina Nicolai told Business Insider that it’s fine to shop till you drop on your work computer, as long as you’re searching for work-related gifts or prizes.

“Shopping for personal items is not acceptable, so always be sure to keep business shopping separate from personal,” she said.

Anything involving high-priority life decisions

Most of the time, you’ll need to gauge your office environment before tackling any personal matters on your work computer. Do you ever notice other people taking the time to check their bank balances or search for apartments? Or is that something that would get a coworker called out?

David Lewis, CEO and founder of human resources consulting firm OperationsInc, told Business Insider that it’s usually not worth risking your job over a Google search.

“If you must use your office equipment then when you do this — ideally during scheduled breaks or after or before work hours — is as critical as what you search,” he said.

He added that searching for a new house, a babysitter, college courses, or other important life necessities is probably acceptable in most work environments.
