UK Employers are starting to ban access to social network sites like Facebook during work hours but are they missing a trick?
While it seems reasonable enough for employers to want to ensure their staff are as productive as possible banning Facebook might not be the answer. In fact Facebook and social media sites could be a way of staff making better use of their time.
More progressive companies are looking at the technologies behind social media sites, their features and applications and are considering what they can learn from them. Could social media applications be used for work projects; team building or as new platforms for talking with customers, partners and suppliers? They can. Anyone got any interesting examples or thoughts?
