Oshkosh Northwestern - Talking @ the office

There's no doubt that e-mail has changed, and will continue to change, the way we communicate with each other at work. The technology itself is undoubtedly useful, but as with anything else that's new and interesting, the way it's used is what makes it a benefit or a disaster.

This article gives some statistics that illustrate how e-mail has affected the workplace. I recommend you read the article and then give some more thought to exactly how e-mail is affecting YOU, your EMPLOYEES and your COLLEAGUES. You decide when it's the right medium to use, and remember there are still options.
