how a lot socializing at work is an excessive amount of?

I’m a supervisor at an workplace of 35 workers and everyone seems to be pretty autonomous in managing their workload. We’re a reasonably social and informal group, so it’s no large deal for folks to socialize with each other to a sure extent. Nevertheless, I’ve just lately seen that there appear to be extra frequent, extended socializing classes with some teams of individuals. I might guess it’s 3-5 days every week for 45 minutes or extra every time. I feel it in all probability begins out as work-related conversations however then wanders into extra social territory. Is this gorgeous typical? My concern is that persons are getting too relaxed and laying aside the precise work that must be completed after which high quality is struggling (high quality is tough to measure in my job so that is troublesome to trace). My concern with addressing it’s that I don’t need to kill morale. In case you assume it does have to be addressed, how would you achieve this?
