Should Businesses Allow Facebook at Work?

Posted By on April 16, 2012

The idea that social media in the work place has always been a hot button issue.

Should employers allow their employees to use it? Or will it be too much of a distraction and actually cost the company money because people are wasting time Liking their friends’ photos?

  • 50% of CEOs do not allow Facebook at work.
