PEW Study: E-Mail Brings Work Home
22% of workers who use e-mail say that they are required to check their business e-mail even when they aren’t at work, according to a study by the PEW Internet and American Life Project published last week. The numbers are even higher for the BlackBerry-and-iPhone set: 48% of workers with mobile e-mail say they have to check their e-mail at home.
With all this e-mail interrupting our weekends, it’s even more important that our messages are relevant, clear, and concise. Write It Well offers workshops and do-it-yourself workshop facilitator kits that can help your business reduce e-mail clutter — and leave your down-time as free as possible.
