Survey: Tech gadgets hurt workplace etiquette

Increased use of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets has led to more breaches in workplace etiquette over the past three years, according to a new survey by Robert Half Technology, an information technology staffing company with an office in Dayton.

The survey of chief information officers (CIOs) from U.S. companies found that mobile devices have helped employees become more productive, but they also serve as round-the-clock distractions, officials said.
