Why Train?
The importance of proper procedures for writing email has never been greater. The risk companies face include:
- Legal liability
“Excellent instructor! Very clear and easy to follow. Very knowledgeable!"In most cases the employer is held responsible for all the information transmitted on or from their systems.
- Confidentiality breaches
Most confidentiality breaches occur from within the company
- Damage to reputation
There is no doubt that the contents of corporate emails reflect on the business. A badly written email, or an email containing unprofessional remarks will cause the recipient to have a negative impression of your company.
- Lost productivity
Lost productivity due to inappropriate use of a company’s email system is becoming a huge area of concern.
- Email retrieval on court order
Email records are increasingly used in lawsuits since they tend to contain important evidence. For instance, if your company is faced with a wrongful termination lawsuit, chances are that you will be ordered to search all company emails for messages relating to that person.
- Network congestion & down time
Spam and personal (mis) use of email can cause a company’s email system to waste valuable bandwidth resources
