EMAIL
Email is a fast and efficient communication tool. It is important to use it legally, efficiently, appropriately and securely.
This document refers to the e-communications infrastructure, which is owned and controlled by National EWP. Through
this infrastructure, users are able to send and receive email communication from an individual account.
This policy applies to all the users of Company email system, whether through a PC, laptop, cell phone and/or any other
hardware device. It applies equally whether you are working from an office, at home, in the field or any other location.
Best Practices / Nationwide Policy - With the increase in the number of users of Company email system it is becoming
more and more difficult to maintain control of the inbox. For many people, even if they are just copied, reading
unnecessary emails is a waste of time. Overflowing inboxes can create stress for people. Email senders should be aware
of this prior to sending emails to large numbers of people or copying users into a message unnecessarily.
What kinds of emails should be sent/received?
1. Your email account is to be used for business purposes.
2. Emails sent and received using the Company's system should always be appropriate in nature. Emails used to
transfer illegal, threatening, offensive, obscene, pornographic or libelous content are strictly forbidden.
3. Emails that are obviously SPAM or of an adult nature should not be opened, but rather deleted immediately
without opening them. Do not participate in chain emails where you are asked to forward an email to multiple
people. Do not open an e-mail if you are not familiar with the sender.
