Social Networking at Work Makes Employees MORE Productive
A study conducted by Australian scientists found that employees who participate in “workplace Internet leisure browsing” (WILB) are actually more productive than their coworkers who do not. We’re not talking about those who have Internet addictions and spend the majority of their work time online. Rather, this applies to employees who spent less than 20% of their time at work surfing the Internet and using social media sites. Whether it was due to the temporary and brief distraction or if there are other factors involved, the study found that those WILBers were 9% more productive than their co-workers who are not taking those leisurely breaks. While you’re WILBing today, check out the article for more details, Twitter about it, and then get back to being your productive self.
