Money Programme - E-Mail is Ruining My Life

Logo for Money Programme - E-Mail is Ruining My Life

Things have got so bad that some companies have introduced e-mail-free days. Libby Potter investigates whether e-mail helps or hinders workplace performance, and shows how to control it rather than letting it control us.
