I write to rein in excitement about the realism of an empty email inbox and to point you towards doing the right things by the HR system capability that you are running on right now to make the most of automation. Call it email without effort!

Please be assured that my own advocacy of the latest ideas on collaborative, conversational, community-based comms is very real too.
