Can you imagine having an empty email inbox? It almost sounds too good to be true! Although a completely empty inbox (also called "inbox zero") might seem overwhelming, maintaining a lean and clean inbox keeps us more organised and productive, ensures email records are handled appropriately, and eliminates email quota stress.
During this Lunch & Learn session, we will chew on useful Lotus Notes features and email management tips that will help increase our appetite for improving the efficiency and productivity of our email business skills.
Please register for the workshop. Light refreshments will be provided for registered participants.
