Spam is costing you more than just wasted wages!

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.
