In order to deal with overwhelming inboxes and stress, Gabel, a textiles company based in northern Italy, decided to ban internal email at work for one week. Instead, employees relied on in-person meetings. The company's CEO Michele Moltrasio said that employees rediscovered the joys of face-to-face communications. "Even if from next week we all go back to using email, these days of experimentation are very worthwhile, to understand and rethink the methods and pace of working," Moltrasio told the BBC.
