Recently, Inc magazine wrote about how a few companies have been adopting a transparent email policy. One of these companies called Stripe, a payments startup, has admitted to allowing their employees to read all emails.
Co-founder Patrick Collison revealed to Quora his reasons on why email information is accessible to everyone on their team, explaining, "I find that our policies mostly affect cases where it doesn't seem obviously important to actively make information accessible to others. This stuff isn't usually of particular value to anyone outside the company, but it can often make internal workflows much more efficient -- people don't need to block on asking questions, they can take cues from how others are solving similar issues, etc."
Collison's take on communication transparency is one that goes against the grain of a typical isolated inboxes. However, we also know that most companies wouldn't be able to go from an inbox that prevents employees from sharing and collaboration to an open stream of communication, or at least not easily. That's why we invented Accelo's syncing feature.
Sync was built as a hybrid approach to the transparent email policy - it automatically captures and shares only client-related email conversations.
By taking this approach, we're able to provide instant transparency while employees keep using email the way they normally would. Eliminating the need to constantly be copying and pasting information into different inboxes and platforms to keep track of communication. Whether they're on their iPhone, Gmail or using Office365, Accelo works automatically and seamlessly in the background across your entire team, bridging any information or communication gaps.
With thousands of companies already embracing Accelo and the transparency it provides, from small agile teams through enterprise corporations, why not see how the power of Accelo can streamline your client communication and propel your business forward?
