What one HR Rep has said…
“So with cell phone policies, I find myself issuing disciplinary actions to some of my best employees. Here’s the deal: I can’t have them texting someone while a customer waits for service. I can’t have my employees missing deadlines because they were taking “selfies” or “ussies.” But let’s examine what the real problems are. It’s poor customer service. It’s missing deadlines. So perhaps, the discipline should address the real problems, eh? ”

One HR Guide Suggests
Setting some restrictions and guidelines for smartphone use during work hours in your employee handbook is advised. There are a couple different approaches you can take with your policies.
Particularly in the case of hourly employees, some organizations only allow phone use during breaks, at lunch, in the event of an emergency, or with authorization. Other companies do not permit the use of personal cell phones on company property; however this approach tends to be extreme and not recommended. Many organizations allow for a minimal amount of personal cell phone use during the workday in their policies, provided that it is not excessive or overly distracting. Be sure to include a statement in your policy that cell phone use should not disrupt business operations and it may present distractions to other employees.

The Data
Three smartphone features in particular — social networking, watching video, and listening to music or podcasts — are especially popular with younger users. Fully 91% of smartphone owners ages 18-29 used social networking on their phone at least once over the course of the study period, compared with 55% of those 50 and older (a 36-point difference). These young smartphone owners reported using social networking in an average of 5.6 surveys, tied with internet use as the second-most frequent smartphone behavior among young adults after text messaging.
