Businesses Loose Millions In Productivity Over Social Networking Sites

Does your company have Internet Access Policy? Is the policy ever enforced? Do you know where your employees are going on the internet while they are "working"?

According to employment law firm Peninsula, 233 million hours of productivity are lost every month as a result of employees "wasting time" on social networking. So while you think that the employee sitting in the corner cube is deep in research, he most probably is browsing the social sites and making "friends."

Some organizations are using Facebook and other social sites as motivational sites, many or rather most companies see such sites as waste of employer time, money and resources and are taking steps to block access to such sites. Over and above the fact that such social sites are waste of time when accessed during work hours, they are also harborers of unwanted downloads, and such downloads generally contain viruses, keyloggers or spyware.

Lesson Learnt: Organizations should make every effort to block access to sites that can cause a loss of productivity or could open their It infrastructure to unwanted threats from the outside.
