Email Interruptions: Threat or Opportunity?

Email can be extremely costly if not used effectively.

When you consider the average recovery time from any interruption is about 4 minutes, you can imagine the cost to your organization when people look up every time an email is received. Do the math. If you stop what you’re doing every time you receive an email and get 30 emails in one day, that equals 120 minutes of recovery time—two hours of waste! And that doesn’t include the time spent handing the email. Now multiply that by every employee, everyday, and you can see how profitability can be seriously impacted.

In order to instantly combat this loss, give everyone in your organization “permission” to turn off auto-receive, and instead schedule email deliveries every 90 to 120 minutes. So, instead of 30 interruptions, you now have 4 or 5 a day. This can shorten recovery time to about 30 minutes – a saving of 90 minutes added right back to your bottom line.
