Tech Update: Your business is losing hundreds of hours to spam every year
It might not be something you ever think about – but dealing with spam emails is a real productivity killer for you and your team. Researchers have just calculated how much time you could be losing to spam… here’s the figure.
Everyone hates spam.
But because the spam filters are so good these days, maybe you feel like it’s not a big problem for your business?
Wait till you hear this. A new report’s revealed everyone on your team could waste up to 80 hours a year, scrolling through and deleting spam emails.
Between 45 and 85 per cent of all emails sent every day are spam.
Researchers calculated someone who only gets 30 external emails a day will probably waste about 5 hours a year.
It’s the business owners and managers whose time is most wasted. If you get more than a hundred external emails a day, you’ll spend 80 hours a year sorting and reporting them.
Add that up across your team and it’s a productivity killer.
There are settings in your email service to help protect you from more spam.
Training can also help your team spot a spam message faster – and could stop them clicking on bad links.
