You’ve likely been there — stuck in a boring business meeting, staring at the clock while your manager drones on about another irrelevant report. You imagine what you could be doing with the time, perhaps finishing work, grabbing lunch or socializing with co-workers.
Ineffective business team meetings can, at best, merely be a waste of time. At worst, however, they can lower employee morale, damage relationships and cost companies thousands of dollars in lost productivity. An Otter.ai report found a company with more than 100 employees could save nearly $2.5 million each year by cutting pointless meetings.
