Email Etiquette Training Offers Cure To Information Overload

Online, December 13, 2011 (Newswire.com) - An email etiquette course which saves employees 31 minutes each day, cuts inboxes by 40% and reduces unnecessary email traffic by 25% is being offered as a behavioural solution to email overload.

The course, from email etiquette training consultancy Emailogic, teaches people to deal with email overload and manage their email more efficiently. With the average corporate user sending 112 emails every day the productivity gains to be made from email etiquette training are not to be underestimated.

Marc Powell, MD of Emailogic says, "We get consistent statistics back from people who attend our courses saying that they are saving 31 minutes per day, every day. That's 17 days a year, saved by managing email better. It is all common sense - but not common practice - which includes breaking peoples' proven addiction to email."

He continues "The solution to email overload is not simply a technical one. At Emailogic we concentrate on changing human behaviour"

Emailogic training has been delivered to hundreds of organisations and thousands of employees both in the UK and worldwide via seminars, webinar or e-learning.

The astonishing results which Emailogic achieve are highlighted in their many case studies - one example is The Wellcome Trust - where over 50% staff took part in the Emailogic training.

Bob McLean, Information Governance Manager at The Wellcome Trust at the time, said, "Before Emailogic's training, we were simply overwhelmed with email. Staff just didn't know whether to keep or delete their emails and we knew we needed training to deal with what was becoming an increasingly large problem."

It created impressive results. After 10 years of building up emails, the Trust was able to delete 30% build-up of unnecessary emails. Staff saved - on average - 34.5 minutes every day and were able to spend this time on other projects.

The Emailogic training was, according to Bob McLean "the most highly attended training course we've ever run."

Emailogic's award-winning 90 minute training is used by public and private sector organisations including L'Oreal and Gloucestershire Police and can be delivered in person by Emailogic, by a company's trainers or by webinar, video conference or e-learning.
