Social Media at Workplace

Benefits Social media is one of the strongest platforms for people to communicate and without any doubt, it has become an integral part of our lives. Most colleagues use social media to interact with each other during and after working hours, and social media has proved itself to build better working relationships. Employees and employers can potentially utilise this opportunity to increase productivity and create a better working environment. Social media allows us to share and communicate different ideas, plans and strategies. The best thing is, it is accessible to everyone anytime, and if used wisely, it could improve business performance. Issues Personal jealousy is among the top issues when it comes to mixing social media with the workplace. Gossiping during working hours through social media, or talking about something related to fellow colleagues media posts will waste their time and ultimately it will hurt the company in the end. Etiquette Follow company policy. Don't post
