Er… these very smart chappies have modeled corporate email patterns and concluded what we already know. Corporate managers can improve e-mail efficiency simply by scheduling e-mail processing times across an organisation. This approach avoids the inherent distraction of continual e-mail interruptions throughout the working day, allowing employees to focus their efforts on primary tasks at other times – according to their Press Release blurb.The solution also places emphasis on allowing time for necessary e-mail and so removes pressure from employees who feel constantly obliged to check and respond to e-mails. Take it away Captain Obvious!
