Business Email Volume Exploding
Recent research confirms the volume of email continues to increase. The technology marketing research firm Radicati predicts that this year the average office worker will send and receive about 199 emails per day! That is nearly 200 separate messages, each requiring your focus and action. Even if you can quickly delete an email after skimming it, that process requires you to (1) absorb the message, and (2) delete it.
More worrisome for productivity, Radicati also predicts that the average office worker will spend 41% of each work day managing email. Earlier this week, talking with participants in several business writing courses, I listened as they expressed their frustration with the volume of email they receive each day. The higher one rises in an organization, the more email one receives.
