That's right. In salary alone you are paying an average of
$110 per month per employee to manage your spam problem. Figure
it out. Say each employee spends 15 minutes per day on wallowing
through their spam.
Lost Productivity
In reality, spam costs you much more than 15 minutes a day
per employee. Driven by curiosity, employees often fall
victim to clicking a spam mail and waste time placing an
order or escaping from the spammer's web. Worst of all,
clicking a spam message validates the employee's email address
ensuring that more spam will follow.
In addition to wasting valuable time at work, spam email
also causes frustration and aggravation that can take its
toll in low moral among employees.
Whether your employees delete it, click on it, or buy from
it, spam is costing you, as an employer, a bundle. You wouldn't
allow employees to bring in their junk mail from home, read
it, trash it, and fill out an order form. Why let them do
it with their work email?
Lost Business Opportunities
Facing an unmanageable number of unsolicited emails, many
employees have no choice but to delete virtually every email
they don't immediately recognize. This results in deleting
important messages from potential clients who initiated
contact for the first time. The inability to distinguish
spam emails from legitimate messages carries a heavy toll
in lost sales and reduced marketing ROIs.
Consumption of Resources
Unsolicited emails consumes IT resources. On average, around
70% of the storage space on your email server is storing
spam. Spam email also increases network traffic which reduces
your company's connection speeds and bandwidth for legitimate
purposes. If left unchecked, spam email can grow to a point
that will require an upgrade of your network equipment.
More serious threats come from spam emails carrying computer
viruses. Viruses carried by emails usually spread rapidly
once they infect even a single recipient in an organization.
The most recent virus attacks have cost US businesses billions
of dollars in lost sales and in IT resources to restore
their systems.
Potential Legal Risk
Pornographic spam opens employers to huge potential legal
risks. Unnecessary exposure to pornographic material can
lead to sexual harassment claims from employees offended
by such materials. When affordable measures exist to effectively
protect employees from pornographic spam, employers could
be held liable for damages caused by such a "hostile
work environment", which is prohibited by federal employment
laws.
