Ours is relatively easy and straight forward. Personnel cell phones are not allowed on site for security reasons. They cannot be brought into the buildings unless they have a "pass" to carry a cell phone. If they have a pass, then it is a company cell phone and not a personal one.

We allow employees to bring to work, but they can only be used durung scheduled break and lunch times. This included checking messages. Employees are instructed to have family members, schools,etc. call the company phone line for emergency calls.

We have a policy in our HR department that NO Cell Phones can be on during work hours. You may only use your cell phone and lunch and break, unless it is a company cell phone. The problem is the corporate EE's around our area have cell phones that go off every 2 minutes and are on the highest possible ring setting. They leave thier cell phones at their desk while in a meeting for two hours and we get to listen to them buzz and beep! It disturbs the entire area.

Daily Q&A
How Do We Keep Our Best During Upheaval?
Things are getting scary for us. We recently had to downsize, and since then have lost some of our best people to other jobs. Aside from boosting their pay (which isn't feasible now), what practical steps can we take to keep them from quitting on us?
