An Italian company has told staff to stop sending any internal（內(nèi)部） emails for a week in an effort to reduce stress levels.
   Home textiles company Gabel，based in the northern Como region，appointed an expert to interview its employees about what their main concerns were at work，the local La Provincia di Como website reports.Many said that managing the huge volume of internal emails was a burden during the working day.That pushed the company's management to propose a solution，which -- somewhat ironically -- was sent to all staff in an email.
   "Together we will begin the following experiment，which will take us back in time to when people talked more，" managing director Emilio Colombo wrote，declaring an "email - free" week until 13 November. "We invite you not to use email for internal communications（between colleagues at the same location），in favor of a more direct and immediate contact."
   The company's president，Michele Moltrasio，tells the BBC it hasn't been easy to stop such an "ingrained" practice，temporarily，but that employees have welcomed the challenge. "They are rediscovering the pleasure of meeting and talking rather than writing，" he says.And that includes Mr.Moltrasio，who is avoiding emails along with everyone else. "Even if from next week we all go back to using email，these days of experimentation are very worthwhile，to understand and rethink the methods and pace of working，" he says.
   Several recent studies have found that a high volume of emails raises stress levels at work.In 2013，researchers said that a full inbox led to peaks in people's blood pressure and heart rate.And last year，a study at the University of British Columbia found that limiting email use during the day lowered people's stress levels "significantly."
