Corporate America Bans Social Media in the Workplace
March 27th, 2011 by Bob Bly
According to a study conducted by Robert Half Technology, more than half of U.S. companies block employees’ access to social networking sites. Nineteen percent let employees ?use Facebook, Twitter, and similar sites for business purposes only, while 16 percent permit limited personal ?use. The 4 most common reasons why companies block social media access are:
1. Productivity will suffer.
2. Employees will say things that get the company in trouble.
3. Access to social networks will introduces viruses to the company network.
4, Access to social media will consume mission-critical bandwidth.

I’m wondering how many companies encourage their employees to participate in the social media efforts of the business — and how that’s working out for them.
March 28th, 2011 at 10:00 am
I agree with the companies that enforce this. People are our most valuable asset, yet having them stay on task is tough enough without distractions.
April 5th, 2011 at 3:22 am
Nah, I disagree, if I had a company I’d let my people do it, by following these guidelines:
1. Have 20 mins a day for personal social media interactivity at the end of your work day. Productivity will BOOST.
2. Have nothing to say bad about the company, or THEY might get in trouble.
3. Access the social networks as I will introduce anti-viruses in the company network.
4, Access to social media will NOT consume mission-critical bandwidth.

Even if I work as a freelancer, I’m also refraining myself from using these sites too often or else they affect my productivity. But it’s really shocking to hear that there are several companies that ban opening these websites in their office.

It is not generally simple to continue to be optimistic, but encompassing myself with terrific close friends plus a suportive household usually causes it to be much easier. I remind myself continually that every day is a reward, and we are lucky to awaken each early morning and get piece in it…
