Content use at work Do you know how and why content is being used and copied in your organisation? A recent research survey commissioned by CLA exploring how published content is used amongst UK professionals, shows that while digital workplaces facilitate content sharing, most professionals remain unclear about copyright protections*. UK professionals rely heavily on the use and dissemination of published content for a wide variety of day-to-day business activities, from supporting training and development to keeping up to date with industry news. But what about the legality of sharing copyright protected content? This report uncovers the type of content being reused, how it is supporting business activities and professionals’ understanding of the role of copyright in content use at work. Key takeaways On average, professionals are regularly using content from 5 different titles to support their work. 59% of respondents use at least 5 different titles on a regular basis. 54% of respondents are using this content to support training and development, with just under half using it to stay in touch with their industry or help solve business problems. Around 30% of respondents are using books or journals, half of these go to copy from or share those resources. 72% of respondents agreed that copyright is a risk for their business.
