I agree
I agree with what Shelley is saying. My point regarding you had more time meant that you need not react immediately. You need to investigate the situation before approaching the individual like it seems you are doing with the examination of the work station.
In our call center we were setup as a shared environment. The agents would flip flop from one desk to another. I assume by your comment that you know the individual is the culprit and not someone else for sure.
Make sure you are approaching the right person.
Make sure your HR dept is involved for sure. They are the owners of the policy and procedures of a company. As a manager/supervisor, you are responsible for following the rules and ensuring your employees to as well.
The fact that your director is the one that advised you of this, it should be in my mind easier to approach the individual as you don't need to name or leave the individual with the impression that one of his peers named him.
He has to realize that what he has done is wrong, otherwise why would he do it in secrecy.
In the company I worked for prior to this one, the policy was very clear. Dismissal immediately regarding pornography.
Shelley is right. ---ual harassment charges could be laid by others who are offended by this individuals behavior.
Good luck...
