The high price of social networking websites
This report claims that UK businesses lose £1.4 billion every year because staff slack off on social networking sites.
It is thought employees use the sites for up to 40 minutes a week for personal means.
Twitter was highlighted as a particular area of concern by the report. Organisations have not latched on to how damaging it is to productivity and few have issued rules on when staff can log-on to the site.
Twitter is not all about frivolity however. If you’re on the hunt for a new job, it’s worth punching the word procurement into the site’s search bar. I guarantee you will see something of interest.
SM uses Twitter every day, posting up the latest purchasing and supply chain stories. It helps drive web traffic to this very site – a benefit my boss is not going to argue with.
