Has anybody who owns or manages a business ever successfully instituted a cellphone policy that was not draconian yet effective? I have three millennials who work for me, and texting on their cellphones is as much a part of their workday as is breathing. The desktop or laptop is on and working, but the phone is in front of them and it is hours a day spent on those devices. We had a problem with one of the employees doing live chats on the desktop, but that was shut down. In my old office, the manager once went around and took up cellphones and put them into a box and wouldn't give them out until the end of the day. I thought we were going to have violent protests break out at that point, and she realized her folly. Is this just part of the deal with hiring millennials, or are there policies that work? Thanks
