Facebook ban during business hours for employees, is it right?
This argument has been going on ever since Facebook started growing like wildfire. Facebook was originally built for people to connect and share with friends and their networks. It currently has whopping 500million users and businesses are beginning to use it to promote their business.
Here in Nigeria, it has more than 1.6million users; an average young person on the street has a Facebook account while employees now use the site in the office. While working in a corporate setting, with branches across Nigeria, we have access to it like every other technology facilities. For us to know who were at work in a particular day (in the head office and our branches), we simply log on to Facebook, right there would see all staffs live on Facebook!
Facebook and Productivity
For every employed personnel, they are expected to add value to the organization so while Facebook is good for socializing it could also tells on staffs’ productivity. But the big question is; should companies now ban Facebook out rightly?
if you work for me, use my internet access and my PC. And you're employed by me, I have every right to determine if I'm going to pay you for spending time on facebook during office hours instead of doing the job you've been employed to do.
There are a lot of other communication tools organizations use to keep their employees connected while at work that do not have all the distractions Facebook has.
I am even surprised somebody actually thinks this is a debatable issue.
what if they are your marketers?
