French Information Technology Company Plans on being Email Free
The French Information Technology company is implementing a zero eMail policy, and plans to be completely eMail free within 18 months. This will force the 74,000 employees to communicate with instant messaging and a Facebook-style interface. According to CEO Thierry Breton only 10% of the 200 emails employees receive are useful while an additional 18% are spam. This is the reason he wants to eradicate internal emails.
We are producing data on a massive scale that is fast polluting our working environments and also encroaching into our personal lives, he said in a statement when first announcing the policy in Feburary. At [Atos] we are taking action now to reverse this trend, just as organizations took measures to reduce environmental pollution after the industrial revolution.
