[IASHRM] iashrm Digest, Vol 6, Issue 4

[Karen Mooney]

I would suggest simply asking your system administrator to limit the amount of storage space available to each user and delete any items older than a certain date. Inform people ahead of time if you feel the need to give them time to clean out their mailboxes, but the e-mail system is the company's not the empolyees'. If your "packrats" are affecting productivity, then it's the company's option to fix the problem.

Subject: [IASHRM] Rat Problems
Message: 1
Our organization recently changed from using Outlook Express to Outlook.  During this process, we discovered that a few members of our internal staff are storing inordinate amounts of email, some as old as 10 YEARS!  I think they must be email pack-rats. Surprise, surprise
I am putting together an email retention policy. I am especially interested in advice or policies which limit the amount of storage space allocated to each user, guidelines for what to save and what to delete, or a timeframe for deleting messages. Do you have any suggestions or a sample policy I could look at? I would really appreciate your help!
