According to a new survey from Vodafone, business professionals (and that sure does mean radio AE’s and managers) have only 30 minutes to respond to business emails if they’re not to disappoint. Can you say, “it’s time for a Blackberry?.”

• One in ten businesses expects a 30 minute turnaround on business email, and one in three businesses expect a response to email within two hours.
• Office of National Statistics data shows that slow response to email is generating losses up to GBP 7,345 billion per year.
• Three in ten workers suffer stress when encountering a very full inbox upon returning from meetings.
• 42% of all workers now say they need to be able to access and respond to emails when away from office during work hours.
