Should employees be allowed with their phones during work hours?

Springtime · Jul 26, 2024

I think no companies here do not allow employees to use their phones. They need to talk to the clients or have emergency calls personally.

I don't see any reason for an employer to stop his or her employees from being with their phones during work hours especially when it is not a source of distraction.

Though depending on the type and nature of the job. There are jobs that requires that you use your mobile phone to attend to customers by taking orders and other important things..

It depends o the nature of work, maybe only the security guards. In the bank as teller, no even in the academe.

It is very difficult for companies to monitor their employees and ensure that they do not touch their phones during office hours.

If the mobile phone would cause distraction and make them loose concentration, then they should be restricted from using the mobile phone or any other devices..

I think it depends on the type of work you do. People can mute their phones and just limit their phone usage.

If the mobile phone could cause much distraction, it should not be allowed as it could lead to low productivity..

In my work place we're not banned to use our cellular phones. It is not a crime. We only limit our usages.

This depends a lot on the working environment. In certain places, using phones is not allowed as the organisations may have strict rules regarding this.

Handling of mobile phone during working hours by employees depends on the type of job they are doing. While in most cases it could be a source of distractions. So it actually depends on the job..

In many workplaces, many employees are allowed to use phones. However, only senior employees are allowed to use their phones in workplaces. This depends a lot on the designation of the employee.

If the mobile phone are not causing any hazard to the person and any other distractions. People should be allowed to have their phones Incase of any emergency that could arise..

Employees should be allowed with phones at their workstations but they should not be pressing those phones at work m.

I think the answer is a very big no to me. They should concentrate on the job related matters not personal issues during work time.

Some employees can't just stay focused and are always using company time to do social media and watch videos. That's why some organizations don't allow employees carrying phones to their workstations.
