Question:
Imagine that you are an employee at ForeverKoi, a local retail company. Last year, your company released a new policy that prohibited the use of all social networks during working hours. The only accepted channel for instant communication at the moment is Zalo. The reason is that the management worried about some employees’ abusive behaviors, such as sharing photos of them partying or drinking excessively, and even complaining about the workplace on their personal accounts. They also thought that employees were spending too much time on unproductive activities on social networks at the office.
You, however, think that social networks can indeed enhance productivity and make employees less stressful at work, if used appropriately. You also have encountered some communication troubles with the customers, as many of them are not familiar with Zalo. The company is limiting its opportunity to attract young customers and young talents by viewing social networks as an obstacle to productivity.
Your task:Write an email to the Human Resources Manager to explain your point of view, and propose an idea of implementing suitable guidelines for social media use, instead of completely banning social networks at work.
