If it's saying already taken, then that email address is already associated with an account. In order to use that email address with your account, you'll either need to change the email on the other account (to a third email address) or delete the other account. Either way your work email will be freed up for use on another account.
If it's your email address and you have control of it, try to sign in to the account, resetting the password if necessary.
