“Meetings have become a necessary evil in the post-pandemic world,” notes Howie Jones in a previous Calendar article.
However, it might be possible to replace your full meetings with a quick Slack chat to save you and your team time, money, and sanity. In other words, we spend one-fourth of our work week in virtual meetings, whether through Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and the like. Virtual meetings used to take up two hours a week, but now they take up more than ten. And, certainly, the seeming craziness has gotten more ridiculous following COVID-19, but what action to take is less apparent. In light of the studies - it is not surprising that most of us question each and every meeting on our Calendar. This is not only a massive waste of time but $541 billion in resources as well. Another study discovered employees spend two hours a week attending unnecessary meetings. One study showed that 55 million meetings are held worldwide each week. Before COVID the question of whether you should have a full meeting or a quick slack chat would not even have been on the radar of issues needing to be addressed.
