In their post they argued these three reasons:

It creates a more attractive worklpace to potential, and younger, employees who see social media as a staple of work life.

It improves productivity with those employees who were allowed to take breaks to surf the internet for fun.

It creates a more engaged workforce by allowing employees to use social media to connect with colleagues, which in turn improves communication and speeds up decision making processes.

But just as the many bloggers, employees, and businesses who argue the validity of using social media during work hours, there are many more who think that employers should ban social media sites in the workplace as they are potential time wasters.

There’s a debate going on about the effect of social media on worker productivity. Some say it steals too much time from the job at hand during work hours. Others say the quick mental break helps workers refocus so they get on with their tasks.
