GUIDE HELPS BUSINESSES DEVELOP INTERNAL E-MAIL POLICIES

Posted on April 9, 2002

      Elron Software Inc., a provider of Web and e-mail filtering products, and the ePolicy Institute, a think tank dedicated to e-mail and electronic workplace policies, have collaborated on the "E-Mail Policy Guide: A Formula For Safe and Secure E-Mail Usage."

      Authored by Nancy Flynn, founder and executive director of the ePolicy Institute, this free 16-page publication is intended to help organizations establish rules for acceptable e-mail use. The guide does not specifically cover e-mail marketing, but rather deals with how companies can maintain effective internal e-mail use policies. It explains why businesses need to develop e-mail policies, how to audit employee e-mail use, and how to draft effective e-mail policies.

      The guide also includes tips on how companies can avoid risky e-mail use, lawsuits, wrongful terminations and lost work time. "When it comes to e-mail, what you don't know can hurt you," Flynn said. "The E-Mail Policy Guide helps organizations identify symptoms of misuse and abuse and take the steps necessary to prevent future occurrences."

      The guide is available as a free PDF download from Elron Software's Web site at: www.elronsoftware.com/pdf/emailpolicy.pdf
