Description

Imagine how much time each day is lost by your colleagues and employees just attempting to manage the sheer volume of e-mails that now invade our every working hour.

One hour a day? Or more?

Are you in fact losing a whole working day per employee per week to the management of e-mails?

Ark Group's E-mail Optimisation Toolkit provides highly practical information on how your organisation can significantly reduce the amount of time spent in this activity, freeing you up to get on with your job and tangibly increasing organisational productivity.

By following the steps included in this report one organisation saved £4.7 million a year in lost time from just 100 employees.

With the current state of the economy what organisation wouldn't like to get more man hours and significantly more productivity from the same workforce within the same working week?

This report covers three areas that if addressed will provide substantial savings, improve efficiency and job satisfaction and address vital legislative and risk management issues:

• Employee: Improving their e-mail efficiency and effectiveness;

• Infrastructure: Disaster recovery, outsourcing, software, space management and more.

In four phases and nine stages this uniquely practical report will guide you through a proven solution that will deliver long lasting e-mail optimisation within your organisation. The report contains an e-mail optimisation toolkit that ensures each of these phases is a success including:

• a comprehensive e-mail policy structure to aid writing and testing existing e-mail policies;

• a structure for an e-mail infrastructure audit;
