50% of UK Employees Prohibited Access Facebook



LONDON - Analysis of psychologists who claim access to social networking in the office can boost productivity of employees apparently not approved by a majority of British companies. Evidently, approximately 50 percent of employees are still not allowed to access Facebook or other social networking while in office.

A survey of more than two thousand employees by the computer services provider HCL Technologies has found that most employers worry about their company's reputation collapsed in a craze of employees accessing social networking sites.

"It is surprising at this moment, many companies are still reluctant to meet their favorite employees by prohibiting access to certain sites like Facebook," said chief executive Vineet Nayar responded to the survey.

"Although we always recommend that employees accessing social networking is wise in an office environment, they completely prohibit access to this site will have a negative impact, even affect the entire business enterprise,"said Nayar.

Nayar statement reinforced by research by researchers at Goldsmith College, London which claims to ban internet access to employees makes the company lost 4 billion pounds per year. This caused employees to lose motivation, so do not do their jobs optimally.

The study of 1,700 employees found that a majority of employees feel more productive after accessing the internet rather than relax enjoying snacks.
