You can find your work email account on the "Mailboxes" page of the Mail app. Depending on the last item you opened in Mail, you may have to tap the "Back" button in the top-left corner of the screen a few times to get to the "Mailboxes" page.
In most cases, the "Mail" switch will already be green when you arrive at the "Save" page. If so, you don't have to tap the "Mail" switch.

While Mail supports most account types via the Other email setting, it may take a few days for email from your work server to begin showing up in Mail.
