Yes.

 

The reason is, when deciding on a social media policy it is important to consider the needs, happiness and welfare of your employees. There are benefits to allowing social media at work. By allowing social media as a privilege and benefit you may have happier employees. It is possible to allow social media at work with boundaries that satisfy both the employee and employer.

I think it ought to be for an individual to decide as to how to use the time as the individual is accountable for his / her productivity.

Policing or controlling would be a wasteful proposition.

Yes, I would not mind but in limits (and if company policy allows it). It could be a great stress buster and at times help bring focus and concentration back to table. However, it is quite rare you see individuals who do use it wisely, so you need to let them know of exercizing these habits in moderation.
