A survey from the American Management Association found that 66 percent of employers monitor the Internet use of their employees, 45 percent track employee keystrokes, and 43 percent monitor employee email.

“Anything you do with a piece of hardware that’s provided to you by the employer, every keystroke, is the property of the employer. Personal calls, private photos — if you put it on the company laptop, your company owns it. They may analyze any electronic record at any time for any purpose. It’s not your data.”

I wonder where the Netherlands Management Association stands on this issue.

This would be very illegal in the Netherlands. It could happen if the employer explicitly informs their employees that their every move is being tracked, but even then it has been ruled that employees should be allowed to use their computers for personal email and such without being spied on, as long as it does not compromise the security of the company. So if security is paramount that could be prohibited, but again, you have to very explicitly inform your employees you intend to spy on them.
