E-mail's
up--is the boss watching? By Lisa M. Bowman, CNET News.com.
The study, conducted by the American Management Association,
along with communication management software company Clearswift and the
ePolicy Institute, found that employees who use e-mail spend an average of
about an hour and 47 minutes handling messages every day at work. Eight
percent said they spend more than four hours doing so.
But that time doesn't seem to be going to waste. A full 86 percent of
respondents said e-mail has made them more efficient, with just more than
half saying it's made them much more efficient.
The study, titled 2003 E-Mail Survey, polled 1,100 U.S. employers. Its
findings buck the conventional wisdom that companies frequently monitor
employee e-mail. Although 90 percent of the respondents said their
companies had installed software that observes e-mail on the corporate
network, just 19 percent said they are using it.
