The Pitfalls of Social Media

While using social media at work can be beneficial to employees, it can also have negative consequences if used incorrectly or without thought.
It decreases productivity. On average, people spend approximately 2 hours and 23 minutes on social media every day. If your employees spend even half of that time scrolling through social media platforms during work hours, it can affect their productivity immensely.
Social media in the workplace is another avenue for workers to find information that is relevant to the job or discover new information they can apply while on their job. It is also a way for your employees to spread information about your company.
