Spam and unwelcome email continue to plague the modern day organisation.
In fact, a 2011 University of Melbourne study found that 57.8% of business users still deal with spam on a daily basis. Of those, 28.5% deal with spam on an hourly basis, 46.7% thought spam’s biggest impact is the wasting of time, and 26.8% reportedly find it incredibly frustrating to deal with.
As these figures indicate, spam does not just clog up your computer systems – it also adversely affects your employee productivity and satisfaction. Further research from the University of Loughborough in the UK found that it takes 64 seconds to recover your train of thought after interruption to check email. If users check their email every five minutes, that can work out to 8.5 hours per week of time wasted in lost concentration.
Having an uncluttered inbox, free from spam, is the best possible environment for business users to maximise their productivity.
