44% Of Employees Think That Twitter, Facebook Negatively Impact The Workplace [STUDY]

Almost half of UK employees (44 percent) believe that social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook negatively impact office productivity, says a new study.

Furthermore, 73 percent stated that sharing opinions about work on these channels is inappropriate, and over half of those surveyed (55 percent) feel that mixing personal and professional connections could cause problems in the workplace.

Despite these concerns, just 6 percent of the British workforce has been told to stop using social media at work.

The findings were revealed in the latest Kelly Global Workforce Index, an annual survey conducted by Kelly Services.
