Ineffective meetings are draining employees and leaders alike, exacerbated by chaotic scheduling and a high volume of ad hoc meetings. According to Microsoft's Trends Index, 80% of the workforce feels rushed and lacks energy, primarily due to the overflow of disorganized meetings. The hidden costs are severe, resulting in fragmented work and decreased productivity. However, leaders have the power to transform meeting culture into a productive and energizing experience, enabling meaningful engagement and improved morale across the workforce.
Company meeting culture is not only broken, it's getting worse. Ineffective meetings are one major factor for why 80% of the global workforce says they are lacking enough time or energy to do their work.
A top hidden drain to a leader's energy, according to my research, is a loss of control over their day and schedule, especially with back-to-back meetings.
Too many meetings that are inefficient contribute to decreased productivity, and 52% of leaders say their work feels chaotic and fragmented.
One overlooked solution is to reinvent meeting culture so that it's energizing instead of depleting, allowing organizations to be productive and engaging.
