Employees Require Facebook

What is the minimum connectivity you would require from your company to keep you. Would you work for a company that did not allow you to read personal email? Would you work for a company that did not allow you to brows the web? According to a study coming out of Australia many in the younger generation would not work for a company that did not allow them to access their favorite social network.

Bosses who block access to MySpace and Facebook at work risk losing valuable staff to other companies, new research has found.

Almost half of those who use MySpace and Facebook during work hours say they would refuse a job where they were not allowed access to social networking sites, according to the study by Australian law firm Deacons.

This poses a dilemma for employers who fear the effects of social n etworking sites on productivity and privacy but need to retain staff in today’s tight jobs market.
