Email Reporting in the Telework Era

The Covid-19 challenges companies all around the world

The current Coronavirus crisis is affecting all sectors of economic life in most countries of the world and is resulting, among other things, in massive recourse to telecommuting for companies in the tertiary sector. How do you measure the activity of your employees confined at home? More than ever, e-mail is provides an objective measure in this respect. Promodag Reports can help you extract the key indicators of your employees' activity since they switched to telework. We will see in this article that it is easy to get a glimpse of the situation.

A rapid overview first

The first report we suggest is a graph showing the number of messages sent and received per user per day, grouped by Department. You can get it in a few clicks with the Mailbox Traffic Growth report template.

Who's doing too much?

As an employer or HR manager, you also want to avoid overzealousness. The Mailbox Traffic Based On Working Hours report will show you precisely the number and percentage of messages sent by employees before and after working hours.

What about the details?

The last report you could produce shows the individual activity of each employee. The Individual Traffic Summary report shows, for each user grouped by department, the number of messages sent and received internally and the exchanges with the outside, i.e. with external customers and suppliers. This is crucial information in times of crisis.
