Spam: The Silent ROI Killer
An independent research firm, Nucleus Research, recently conducted a study that quantifies the cost of spam to employers. According to the research:
* Companies lose approximately 1.4 percent of each employee’s productivity each year due to spam.
* The average employee receives 13.3 spam messages each day.
* Employees spend, on average, 6.5 minutes per day managing spam.
* Spam costs U.S. companies $874 per employee per year in lost productivity (based on an hourly pay of $30 and a work year of 2,080 hours).
