The use of email at work gossip about rivals and flirt with colleagues. Company could be losing hours of work time because of misuse of email.
According to the study, gossiping about colleagues online was the second biggest waste of working time by men. Among women the biggest email abuse was ‘planning social life with friends’, followed by contacting brothers and sisters and gossiping about other staff. Other misuses of email include forwarding jokes to colleagues, and seeking new employment.
In this regard, my boss wants me to draft an email policy defining acceptable parameters for email usage.
Bellow is the policies I formulated:
- Nobody shall use office computers for personal emails.
- Nobody shall forward any chain letter.
- Never reply to a lengthy message by sending it back in its integrality only appending (e.g. 'I Agee') at its ultimateness.
(I’m still thinking of any other policies that encourage employees use technology in its proper context.)
Friends,
