 Excessive emailing between employees and clients can lead to major losses of productivity, it has been suggested.According to Bob Hallewell, founder of Expert Messaging, every organisation sends too many pointless emails, quite often round robins between staff, but he said these messages can be a "massive problem" if hundreds of employees are involved. He claimed that office staff in London and other UK cities can spend one or two hours of their working day dealing with nonsense emails. "Reclaiming that one to two hours could either be used for the benefit of the company, or the benefit of the individual. It could let them go home early, rather than stay late to do the work they should be doing," he advised. "Very few people are actually paid to send emails, their job is something else - it's to make widgets or write articles or develop customer relations or whatever and email is a way to achieve that. But so much of the time, they focus on the email and they think they're doing work." French company Atos even plans to ban internal email over the next 18 months after chief executive Thierry Breton claimed just ten per cent of messages are relevant. Posted by Daniel Frost
