What are you currently using for your work email and why do you prefer Gmail?
We moved our company email from Outlook to Gmail roughly 2 years ago and personally I struggled at the time. Since then I have become a fan of Gmail, but it took a lot of adjusting. I have tried to convert a few Outlook and Apple Mail users but I find that most people really struggle with the move.
The most painful thing by far is the threaded view (more specifically that they put the newest message at the bottom of the thread). To someone who isn't super committed to the change it seems ludicrous - your Inbox runs top down from newest to oldest but when you open a thread it works in the exact opposite way.
Now that I think about it I don't know what the person who made that decision was smoking at the time - it's a sure way to turn people away from your product. I can only assume they did it that way to make it feel more like IM, but if they want to acquire more business users they should at least make it an option to put the most recent message at the top, like every other mail client does.
