National newscaster Charity Digital offer guidance to help readers regain control of the time they spend in meetings.
Meeting overload has been seen as one of the main causes to employee stress, which is starting to become common place in the work environment.
Whilst meetings are important for collaboration and to move business forward, when they begin to fill an employee’s entire calendar, it can leave little to no time to get anything done.
Companies are starting to fall into this culture of frequently scheduling employees for check-ins, scheduling debriefs, and status updates, especially within the growing trend of remote working.
Even with today’s technological advancements allowing us to do more, do better, and do faster, the constant use of emails and even calls on Zoom or MS Teams can take its toll and lead to
work overload.
This itself can hinder both productivity and quality of work when staff become burned out, and this then becomes a concern for employers as well as employees.
So, what can be done to change this overwhelming meeting culture?
