An Italian company announced
Monday that has decided to go email-free for a week to cut
stress levels among its employees.
Gabel, which specialises in quality textiles for the home,
commissioned a study to find out what made employees stressed
out during the working day.
After a series of in-depth interviews with staff, it
emerged that a large number of internal emails greatly
contributed to stress levels in the office.
As a result, the company decided in an experimental
capacity to ask employees to refrain from sending internal
emails from Monday to next Friday. This will hopefully force
staff into talking to each other more, foster a collaborative
attitude and reducing stress levels, the company said.
