French Startup Improves Productivity by Dropping Email
- Harvard Business Review, Thursday, June 9, 2016 6:59 AM
French tech startup Atos Origin pulled the plug on internal email several years ago in a move to improve productivity. The company has since decreased overall email by 60 percent. Each employee sends an average of 40 emails a week, down from 100. The company's operating margin has increased from 6.5 percent to 7.5 percent, and administrative costs declined from 13 percent to 10 percent.
