Despite the fact that emails, plays a role of great support for the organisations to accomplish itsheir goals, there are also adverse effects of email. Email is a slower means of communication in comparison to other sfourcems. Emails can be delivered if the recipient is respondsing to the messages. So, in a case of any urgency, emails are less preferred.
There are some circumstances where emails are not as an efficient a way of communicating. Immediate thoughts are often conveyed before analysis and empathy isare included in the communication mix (Centre et al., (2015, p 285). The messages can deliver a wrong sense to the receiver. The way people perceive the messages can lead to an unproductive result.
There are times when the email might not be the most appropriate way of communicating with people,. fFor example, if a message needs to be passed on to a person in the same office, speaking to them face -to -face might be more productive, particularly if they receive large volumes of email.It This may result in some employees having the less-developed skills forin face -to face -communication, meaning they are unable to engage with colleagues and stakeholders inat a deeper level (Centre et al., (2015, p 285).
Email addiction is another negative aspect of email. People often get habituated to the things they do often follow to do. So, this addiction may be a significant disadvantage. People might use email to send the information, ignoring face -to -face communication, which might be a huge drawback.
Another main issue is the privacy and legislation, which is regarding usinge of emails. Emails can only be sent to the employees working in an organisation. If the data is sent to any other non-authorised person by mistake, it can cause the organisation to lose its valued information. In an accounting firm, if any, amount or the financial information is disclosed, the organisation might have to bear a huge loss.
