On Fridays during the month of July employees of Drs. Goodman & Partridge OB/GYN will be prohibited from sending internal emails. We have taken many measures to setup this program called “Conversation Fridays,” including template out-of-office replies in Microsoft Outlook, friendly reminders on Thursdays, and we even had custom t-shirts produced for employees at no charge. The ‘NO INTERNAL EMAIL’ rule is on the honor system but employees have been instructed to prompt each other not to send emails on Fridays should they accidentally send a message.
Drs. Goodman & Partridge OB/GYN is “Declaring Independence” from electronic communications so that we may find more effective ways to solve problems and interact with one another. Emails can be misinterpreted and waste time, sometimes it is much faster and more direct to walk down the hallway and speak with a co-worker face to face. July’s Fridays will be an opportunity for us to refrain from internal emails and pick up the phone to talk to one another to get our jobs done. Many companies have established programs like this as a way to synergize, including VeriSign, US Cellular, and others.
