Social Media is what every business is looking for, here the surprise come out when British economy come up with some figure which claims the loss happens to British Economy because of Social Media.
The new survey has revealed that the popular sites are actually costing British businesses 1.38 billion pounds a year in wasted time. If this continue than figure will be much higher and become matter for Quick Action. In fact, according to the survey, more than half of office workers use the social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook for personal use during the working day, and admit wasting an average of 40 minutes a week each.
One in three of the 1,460 office workers surveyed also said they had seen sensitive company information posted on social networking sites, leading to fears about how workers use the Internet, 'The Daily Telegraph' reported.
Three quarters of the office workers surveyed said their employer had not given them any specific guidelines on how to use Twitter, but 84 per cent believed it should be up to them what they post online.
This is just an initial alarm for all employers before the chicken hatch. So COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY HATCH !
