Links: Email at the Workplace

Provided they notify their employees of the practice, employers can legally monitor employees' use of the company's email system. One corporation is going a step beyond this measure, however, by eliminating email from the workplace altogether. News.com reports that Phones 4U, a mobile phone company, is imposing a no-email policy in the office. The regulation is predicated on efficiency concerns: the company's CEO optimistically (inaccurately?) predicts that slicing email out of the workplace will free up 3 hours of productivity per employee each day.
