If we're talking about the picture in Outlook (which is generally based on an Active Directory account) then a lot of companies force that, as it's internal only. If we're talking about having a picture on an email that goes external - awww hell no!
Do you have a photo of yourself on your work email?

'Hello Cthulhu' pic. here.

In my previous company we had pictures attached to Outlook/Lync profiles and it worked well. I was responsible for taking the pictures of people in the office I worked out of.
I use this, obviously.

I like it and it wish it was enforced in my work. We have c300 staff, I've been here less than a year and we only had 160 when I joined so I don't know who tf most of the people are at the best of times.

I've never met most on my "team", we're quite distributed. It's often my superiors guilty of the above too

Today a woman came into the office and bought a lot of cakes/chocolate and I had no idea who she was but it turned out to be a Solicitor I have had contact with at least once a week for the last 8 years. She also had no idea who I was so it would be a useful function to have pictures on email.
Only yesterday I was imagining what a local Coroner looked like because I've spoken to/emailed her many times and I thought she may look like the woman quiz master off The Chase.
Turns out she is very small and very thin
It has always been one of my annoyances that I don't know what people look like and that goes for this place also.

Does the solicitor actually work for the same organisation as you though?
Man of Honour
Yes but based 40 miles away.
It is a big company with lots of Solicitors and she is now only the 4th I know what she looks like.
To be honest I could probably go on their internet site and there might be pictures of all of them.
No I can't

Why, is your face a closely guarded secret?

Nope don't need my ugly mug popping up on every email I send.
Standard practise at our place. Has been at my last two places come to think of it. You have a pro photo taken during the induction.
Some of them are funny though. One lad insisted on being standing, sideways on, with his coat over his shoulder hanging off his finger.

Where I work when you search for someone via the intranet pretty much all of us have a pic on our profiles. We do not attache face pics to emails however.

From next Monday I will have one...
