Get ready to reinvent your workday with these 7 tips to have more productive meetings. Ahead, learn more about our new rules (no, not the Dua Lipa song ) to usher in a new season of meetings. It’s about time we did the same thing with the meetings, too. Startups are transforming the ways we work and totally rethinking processes that have existed for decades. Luckily, we’re in a time of constant workplace innovation. Think about the valuable time - and money - we’re wasting on meetings. And now with remote meetings, most of which take place over Zoom or Microsoft Teams, it’s even easier to get distracted. So why do we need to reinvent meetings? For starters, people are overworked and overwhelmed by the amount of time they’re being required to spend “syncing up.” Did you know that about 35% of middle managers’ time is spent in meetings, rising to 50% when you reach the executive leadership level? Imagine what you could get done in those 2-4 hours each day.Įven more, it’s estimated that $ 37 billion is spent on unproductive meetings every year, and 92% of people admit to “multitasking” during meetings. At Hive, we’re on a mission to have more productive meetings. A week where the meetings you’re in actually start on time and have clear next steps. A week where you’re not caught up in aimless all hands or “syncs,” and you actually get a chance to do the work that you need to do. Picture a week sprinkled with carefully selected and orchestrated meetings.
