Nicole Hale's Paper Nicole Hale May 6 2018 PHI - 105 Greg Malloy Social Media should not be allowed in Workplace. The more popular social media is getting, the more people will get on social media out of habit during work hours, just to keep up with what is going on right now. People understand why Social media is so addicting. There comes a point where sometimes it is better to leave the phone alone and go about the work day. The phone is a distraction and creates less concentration on the work that is needed to be done to getting involved on the gossip train, or seeing who is on line. Taking social media out of the workplace will help socializing together in person or group, Without social media at work people will learn and the respect how to speak in a proper way without slangs, Understand that social media is an outlet but it can create more problems and stress. The absence of communication, personal connections, one on one meeting at work. Most managers are reporting that breakdowns in the area of courtesy and respect. many of which are amplified by the stresses of the workplace. Ashkenas R, (2012) . Using social media during work hours and connecting with friends, and trends or even gossip, not in the workplace to many people are taking advantage of the social media that they do have and use it for personal connection It can lead to distraction and low performance in getting the work done. People do not feel the need to communicate face to face anymore. face book, instagrams, the snap chat, even messages has taken place of human connection. That this presents a unprecedented paradox. With the powerful use of social technology at our fingertips, we are more connected more to the device then potentially disconnecting with others that we have never seen before. Tardanico, S (2012). Social media does not just disconnect with people at work. It is also reflecting on the mood and how you treat a person in the workplace. Often times people are so consumed with being on line that they think it is appropriate to use Social media slang and using no filter to others. This leads to a lack of respect and courtesy for the other people. David Balovich wrote a definition what is respect in the workplace “Respect includes consideration for other people's privacy, also respect physical space and belongings; and respect for different viewpoints, philosophies,physical ability, beliefs and personality”. Balovich, D (2006) Employees need to understand that Social outlets can cause real stress around them or having the company becoming stressed. A person that is using this type of media can often get caught up on image, missing out on things and even obsessed with the current picture. It puts a lot of stress onto that person and even it will cause an effect through the workplace. That being said furthermore Social media has evolves so much throughout the years. There is a time and place to use the media market to connect with others. The work place is not one of them places. Employers need to truth their employees that the job is not a joke, but taken seriously. There in no need for social media to be entertained in the work place, Not having social media will help being back socializing and communication together in person or groups, Without social media in the workplace people can learn how to be courteous and respectful to others with out using slang and or curse words. Social media can be an outlet but using it in the workplace can obviously be a lot stressful then useful. Having a stress free zone will better the work and lessen the distraction.
