about 70% of workers use work email to send personal emails while at work,  even though they remain the property of the company and can be easily read by the IT ... The answerRespondpromptly. Waiting 12 hours to answer a work email is one surefire way to lose business and alienate people.

It depends on the agreed turn-around time with clients and within the organisation, but within 24 hours is desirable and must not exceed 48 hours. It is proper to acknowledge email and then give a possible turn-around time if it is not something that can be resolved right away and should there be any delay, client must be notified
