Abstract

The use of social media in the workplace has become an increasingly common phenomenon, affecting interactions between employees and their engagement in the organizational environment. While social media can enhance communication and collaboration, challenges such as distractions to productivity also arise. The company needs to formulate a balanced policy to capitalize on the benefits of social media without compromising work focus. Proper training of employees in using social media effectively is essential to increase their engagement. The company should build a positive organizational culture and continuously monitor existing policy to keep it relevant to employee needs. With an adaptive approach, a company can create a work environment that supports collaboration and productivity. High employee engagement will contribute to the overall success of the organization, create a better working atmosphere and increase employee satisfaction. This research provides insight into the importance of wise use of social media in the workplace to achieve organizational goals.
