"Most executives and managers know their people are drowning in email, but truly cannot say what that means for the firm's productivity," said Bret Beresford-Wood, CEO at RepriseMail. "Is email overload merely an inconvenience, or is it massively eroding productivity? That's the question we are helping people answer."
Improving Email Management A Huge Opportunity for Business
Email overload is a topic that has garnered much attention of late, and for good reason. A McKinsey study shows the average corporate worker spends 13 hours a week reading and responding to email. A Grossman Group study shows middle managers spend 100 hours a year on irrelevant mail. RepriseMail's own surveys reveal as much as 25% of the time employees spend in their inbox is unproductive or unnecessary.
Reducing email overload improves the bottom line by attacking what is widely recognized as the #1 source of lost productivity: the overloaded inbox. The trouble, according to most executives, is trying to first understand the nature of the problem. Are employees truly receiving too much mail, or are they just inefficient in how they manage it?
RepriseMail answers those questions. Offering the industry's first free tool for companies to diagnose email overload, RepriseMail gives executives the insights they need to drive change within their organizations.
Free Diagnosis Helps Executives and Managers Take Action
RepriseMail diagnoses email overload by providing executives and managers with business intelligence on 20 key performance indicators focused on how their employees use email.
Based on innovative patent-pending technology, RepriseMail installs into Microsoft Outlook and analyzes each user's email behavior. Once installed, it provides insights via a weekly email report and an online business intelligence dashboard. The executive reporting capabilities include drill-downs from the company or department level down to the individual level, side-by-side comparisons for peer benchmarking, and trending to track changes over time.
"Ultimately, we don't just want to help firms diagnose email overload," said COO Paul Burton, "our paying subscribers will also receive a suite of tools that help each employee conquer email overload, so they can get through email in less time and without the stress."
