Nearly seven out of ten bosses have banned social networks such as Facebook and MySpace from the workplace, according to new research, which may be of interest to graduates who use them as second nature. A study by employment law firm Peninsula indicates that an increasing number of bosses feel that such sites are becoming a major distraction in the office. Furthermore, some 79 per cent of employers have disciplined staff for using social networking sites during company time without authorisation. Commenting on the findings, Deb Gibbons, Head of Employee Relations at Peninsula, said: "Our research shows that many employers have decided to ban Facebook and other social network sites, some companies have resorted to letting their employees use the internet during their lunch break, but approach this with caution." She added that such as strategy needs to be "monitored carefully" in order to make sure that staff are not abusing their employer's IT policy.
