# Break Benefit Charts 'The Case for Facebook' Makes a Strong Argument By Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman | Published 2012-04-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-case-for-facebook References: [holykaw.alltop](http://holykaw.alltop.com/the-case-for-social-media-in-the-workplace-in) & [keas](http://keas.com/blog/case-for-facebook/) 'The Case for [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grey-scale-browser-extensions)' infographic shows the benefits of allowing workers to surf the Internet during work. This doesn't mean going on social media sites and tweeting all day, but a few minutes here and there to roam the web. According to the graph, this will make workers more productive and happy throughout the day. After [browsing the Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindflow), workers will also experience [less boredom and mental exhaustion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memory-game1) than if they received no break or had a break without the Internet. The makers of this infographic also believe that employees should be allowed a recess time during the day. This would involve letting workers go outside to play for a few minutes to refresh their brains. Managers of any business should pay attention to these facts if they want their employees to be both happier and more productive. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Internet Breaks:** Exploring the benefits of allowing workers to take short breaks to surf the Internet during work. - **Recess Time:** Highlighting the advantages of incorporating recess breaks in the workday to refresh employees' minds. - **Productivity and Happiness:** Emphasizing the correlation between employee happiness and productivity in the workplace. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Technology:** Providing tools and platforms to facilitate Internet breaks and enhance employee engagement. - **Workplace Wellness:** Developing strategies and solutions to promote employee well-being and happiness during working hours. - **Human Resources:** Implementing policies and guidelines that optimize employee productivity and satisfaction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Workday Wellness Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deskbreak.md) - [Screen-Limiting Phone Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takebreak.md) - [Employee Mental Health Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mental-health-app2.md) - [Slacking Support Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-slacker.md) - [Branded Cookie Breaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-365-oreo.md) - [Work-Life Balance Inbox Enforcers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inbox-pause.md) - [Rewarding Productivity Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nobrowseforyou.md) - [Cognitive Disruption Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/break-me.md) - [Distraction-Minimizing Work Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/focus-firewall.md)
