The Delaware Employment Law Blog posted an interesting article today entitled: Three Reasons Employers Don’t Have a Social-Networking Policy. The article suggests that one reason employers don’t have such a policy is they have never heard of social-networking! Old-folk jokes aside, I agree that employers should implement a policy aimed at reducing time spent by employees on social networking sites; however, such a policy should extend beyond social-networking and include all internet use by employees. The internet is a powerful tool, which when used properly in the workplace can provide innumerable benefits; however, it can and is the single largest productivity drain in the modern American office, responsible for millions of dollars is lost productivity each year! Employers should implement a clear succinct internet use policy. Such a policy should be signed and made available to all new and current employees.
