Dear All,
Greetings.
In our company, we officially provide mobile phones to our managers and other important personnel. However, in the service line or within the bay (voice section), employees are using personal mobile phones to attend calls and send texts, thereby affecting productivity and concentration.
Kindly share your suggestions on how we can discourage the use of personal mobile phones during office hours.
Cheers,

Dear Trisha,
In our company, using personal mobile phones is totally prohibited. There will be a counter in the security, and whoever brings personal mobile phones should deposit the same with the security and take the token. While returning home, he delivers the token to the security and takes back the mobile phone.
Even visitors are not allowed to carry mobile phones inside the factory premises.
Official mobile phones are given to managers and other executives based on the nature of the job and need.
As you rightly mentioned, mobile phones affect the concentration of employees, which may result in accidents also.
Thanks and Regards,

Dear Trisha,
You can prohibit personal calls made by employees through mobile phones inside the office by informing them that it affects concentration. If an employee needs to make a call, they should step out of the department for discussions, especially in emergency cases. Otherwise, with the assistance of management, you can enforce a ban on the personal use of mobile phones by employees during office hours.

Hi Friend,
Many companies are requesting employees not to use mobile phones on office premises. The HR management creates policies to avoid mobile phones during office hours to prevent disturbances in the workplace.
However, how consistently is this policy being followed by employees and, of course, the management?
Here, I have provided some URLs regarding the awareness of the Mobile policy:

Dear Trisha,
It was a headache in our company as well, but with strict discipline, we were able to control the matter to a great extent! However, actions differ in different situations. It also depends on the size of the organization, the number of employees, etc.
