Social sites hamper office work culture: Survey

Social networking sites, which are being touted as the next big thing by industry pundits, are impacting the office work culture with majority of the corporate houses world over losing an average of 1.5 per cent of total office output due to this, a survey has said.

Nearly half of office employees access social networking sites sduring work and one in every 33 workers built their entire Facebook profile during work and this in turn impacts office productivity, according to a report by Nucleus Research.

Though social networking sites are really useful in terms of business uses, most of the respondents when as-ked to actually identify business uses for these sites cou-ld not point to a true business reason. “Given that 61 per cent of employees access Facebook at work, companies can reasonably estimate a cost of 1.5 per cent of employee productivity,” the report said.
