避免这些社交媒体Apps to Stay Constructive At WorkAt present, social media apps are considered as the biggest reason for creating distractions at the workplace.

Staying focused is an important aspect of meeting our goals on time. But it's hard to stay focused in our professional lives when we have many distractions around us that divert our attention from the ultimate goal. With so many social media apps available at our fingertips, staying constructive is becoming the biggest workplace challenge.

According to a CareerBuilder survey conducted last year, the majority of workers with smartphones do not have their work emails on their smartphones. Of those who access their smartphone during work for non-work use, spend their time on non-work related sites during work.

Rosemary Haefner, Chief Human Resources Officer, CareerBuilderhighlighted in the survey that while we need to be connected to devices for work, we're also a click away from alluring distractions from our personal lives like social media and various other apps.

She further added that the connectivity conundrum isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it needs to be managed.
