Owl Labs' research reveals that 58% of employees are proactively blocking time in their calendars to fend off meeting overload, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction with meeting culture.
The common sentiment among employees is that many meetings lack purpose—too often, they feel that discussions could have simply been summarized in an email.
With the rise of hybrid work setups, employees are facing new challenges: technical difficulties occasionally lead to lost time, missed conversation components, and difficulty engaging fully.
Persistent issues from traditional meeting dynamics remain unchanged, like the HiPPO problem, where the input of the Highest Paid Person dominates discussions, hindering collaborative decision-making.
