A RECENT U.S. STUDY (OCT. 2000) CALCULATED THAT USE OF INTERNET E-MAIL INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY OVER THE LAST YEAR BY A VALUE OF $13,000 PER EMPLOYEE.
THE SAME STUDY FOUND THAT EMPLOYEES SAVE 326 HOURS PER YEAR BY USING E-MAIL (THERE ARE ABOUT 2100 HOURS IN THE U.S. GOVT. WORK YEAR)
NOT WITHOUT A DOWNSIDE, THE SAME STUDY FOUND THAT EACH EMPLOYEE WASTES 115 HOURS PER YEAR WITH PERSONAL E-MAIL AND SPAM.
