Facebook And Twitter Increase Workplace Productivity

Our Comments

Had this story been published yesterday, it might have been taken for an early April fool. On a serious note though, it is a delicate balance that many employers hesitate to try with good reasons. 20 percent of an employee's time dedicated to leisure equates approximately to 7 hours a week, that's roughly £400 worth of opportunity time per month. Hardly something that any employers would look forward to lose during a recession.
