Taking the HP "pretexting" scandal as its jumping-off point, this Washington Post article has a few interesting stats on how many companies monitor employee email and webs use, how many people are fired because of it, and so on.
One of the longer passages talks about IT tools to monitor such things. But this assumes an awfully naive employee base. If you know my employer is monitoring my internet use, just go to something like a PDA-based platform. They can't monitor something that's not on their network.
This Australian article is actually more interesting and detailed, covering the monitoring performed by companies like Google.
