HI All,
In addition to what all have suggested, I would like to add. 'idiosyncratic deals' or in short 'i-deals' should be provided to employees. Research studies have proved such a step will be beneficial both to the employer as well as employees. Many IT companies in India have been implementing 'i-deals' which are being appreciated by the employees and the employers are also happy, as the employees are prepared to take extra load when required by the management. Thus it is a win-win situation which must be popularized. Companies like, Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Xchanging, IBM,etc have been practicing 'i-deals' in their companies.

Tough call this.
You don't want a culture of unnecessary policing in the company but then, people do tend to spend disproportionate amount of time on social sites.
Best approach is to have a lot of work for them with continuous status monitoring. Time wasted on social sites increases when the employees have less work to do.

The discussion on productivity has been an eye - opener. Great minds think alike! very mature thoughts and ratios put forth. They may seem theoretical, but, there is a company in North Karnataka ( I have deliberately withheld the name) - which has increased Productivity through giving complete freedom to the employees.
There are no supervisors, no cubicles, not much of a hierarchy,It is the employees who decide the production, take the raw materials, plan their work. No OT. They can use the library, GYM etc. if they feel they have time. No checking by the security.--------looks like myth, isn't it?
Wish all the industries could follow the same guidelines!!!
