Email Overload: A Third of St Augustine Staff Spend a Day Every Week Managing Email

The Email and Document Management Usage Benchmark report reveals email remains King when it comes to business communication but poor processes kill productivity.
 
St Augustine Florida 3/29/2021: Huge amounts of time are being wasted by staff in St Augustine just managing their email inbox every week.

In fact, for a third of staff, they’re spending so much time on it, that it adds up to nearly a fifth of their working time – the equivalent of a day a week.

That stat’s been revealed in a survey of 1,000 decision makers.

“There are so many ways to communicate at work, yet email remains a favorite,” commented St Augustine IT expert named Patrick Domingues.

“We seem to have a love/hate relationship with email. The survey shows 61% of people prefer to use email over tools like Teams or Slack.

“But it’s also the tool that we most love to hate. Who hasn’t switched on their laptop on a Monday morning and instantly felt their heart plummet when they’ve seen how many emails are waiting for them?”

The original survey, run by a company that makes a tool to make email easier, revealed:

• 70% of people believe email is one of the biggest productivity drains
• 73% say too much time is spent trying to find emails
• And here’s a shock – 62% of people keep hard copies of emails – print outs

Patrick Domingues believes all local businesses should do a productivity analysis, and consider clever tools that make it easier to manage email. Or alternatives for internal communication, such as Teams.
