My opinion : Disagree (Please don’t block that sites)
Reason :
1. This is not solution of material question.(just fudge!)
2. If someone lose his work abilities because of SNS, than his boss(NOT CEO. Like a boss of his department) can make him to stop.
3. If all SNS sites are blocked everytime, than when employee’s freetime, they cannot use use SNS.
4. Maybe employees have some complaint.
5. There can be opposite effects.
Nowadays SNS is floating in our life as a very big problem. Everyone has Smartphone, so we can use SNS, anywhere, anytime. But there’s too many people who just watching SNS, like Facebook, Twitter during work, in their company, not do their work. So nowadays some companies block some SNS sites. But I don’t agree with this way. There is three reasons.
First, this is not a solution of material question. It’s just fudge. Companies have to change employees mind. The reason of their using SNS, is just for fun. And just. Just! It is become a habit. So companies have to do change their mind. How about to make something funny way for work to forget about SNS during his work?
Second, there can be opposite effect. Like employees concentration dispersing, negligence of employees, have some complaint, lose their responsibility on their job etc. anyway just blocking is very dangerous thing.
Third, If companies block SNS sites every time, employees can’t use even in their free time.
Of course they can use when they go back to home but isn’t it too strict? For sure, SNS is kind of big part of our life.
One thing we have to know is blocking the website is not material solution. Only way to work in fun and responsibility is important. I think companies are do not decide the way, to talk with their employees is most important. Share problem with all companies. Than they will be a good companies.
Nowadays most of young people use social media networks anywhere. So some companies block their employees from using social media networks. But I think companies don’t have any right to block their employees except something directly related to their works. There are several reasons to support my opinions.
First of all, even if the companies want to block social media networks, there are many ways to use social media networks under that situation such as using smart phone, and unlocking programs. For example, China block their nation members from using social media networks nationally, but some Chinese people made a program to use facebook or twitter in the china when they want to use that. So that kinds of blocking systems are useless.
Second, I think employee’s creativity can be maximum under the trustful environment. They can imagine many things about work from various factor. Everyone know that trustful environment is more better than the stressful environment for employees.
Third, it can’t ensure that employees use time wisely when they blocked from using social media networks. If they want to do other things and think other things during working hours, they probably do that except social media.
Therefore, managers should trust employees to use time wisely and make them free. That kinds of blocking systems are not that effective for employee’s productivity.

Today, many people are addicted to social media. This phenomena is shown in many places such as public transportation. Therefore some companies block their employees from using social media networks and websites. I think it is good for companies with regards to peer familiarity, time efficiency, and security.
When it comes to peer familiarity, using SNS is obstacle of getting close each other, because they are only concentrate on their virtual life. For example, Most of people including students under mendatory education system spend their much time, at least 2 hour a day, on Facebook and twitter. If they choose to face-to-face friendship instead of SNS, they can build closer and real relationship, and it can bring a positive synergy effect to companies.
Companies are always aimed at making a prorit, and time is very important factor of earnings. From my hands-on experience time efficiency is always top consideration for fulfilling goal like getting high score at an exam. It is obvious that the more employees spend their time on SNS, the more companies' profit are decreased. Therefore, prohibiting employees from using SNS is smart of compnies to increase their profit in respect of time efficiency.
Lastly, in information age, security is very crucial to compete with other companies. Because of widespread characteristics of Social Network Service, confidential facts and documents of companies are easy to be exposed to people or opposition forces. In terms of tightening security to save companies, SNS should be blocked in work places.
In my conclusion, companies should blocks employees from using any social networks media and websites, because it hinders companies' growth by disrupting close relationship between employees, making workers wasting their time on SNS, and leaking critical information of companies.
Nowadays, many people are using social networking sites (SNSs) such as twitter and facebook. Even they focus on SNSs during working hours. I think it is necessary to blocking employee’s network on working time because it is dangerous for company network security, block leaking time and improve employee’s sociality
We can be exposure to huge information on the internet. Some information is valuable. but others will make harmful virus on our computer that just click on. The virus can hack our confidential data and documents. We can prevent hacking using only reliable sites
Some workers are addicted by SNSs. They are checking their SNSs stealthily on working hours. It has a bad effect on work that do every day. Finally, the will work until night. It will leaking money and time for company and employee
Some people are getting used to more familiar that only knows through the internet than real community. They feel easier to communicate with other on the internet. But, SNSs decrease person’s sociality. If company blocks employee’s network on working time, I will helpful for improving employee’s sociality.
In my conclusion, companies should block employee’s network on working hours, because it will disturb company’s profit by dangerous for company network security and leaking time and money and decreasing employee’s sociality.
