Discussion Question

Your company has put together a brand new team of individuals and has named you as supervisor. Your direct reports consist of a group of Generation Zers. You have decided that instead of banning cell phones at work, you would like to manage and set goals about how they are used. 

In a 1-2 page word response, please answer the following scenarios/prompts:

●  What kinds of rules will you set for your team to help them understand what acceptable cell phone use at work is ? 

●  Are there any creative ways they can use their cell phones to actually get more work accomplished? 

●  Is there any way to leverage their tech-savviness to the company’s advantage? 

●  How can you ascertain whether they are working or using their cell phones for personal use? 

●  Is it possible to segregate personal from professional on personal devices?  

●  Are there any ethical considerations to asking employees to use their personal devices for work?
