Meetings Matter

The majority of respondents spend at least one to two hours of their workday in meetings, although nearly half of attendees often miss meetings. Booking or reserving meeting rooms is one of the most common causes of workplace conflict.

• Over half of employees spend one to two hours in meetings each day.
• Seventy-five percent of mid-management-level employees and above spend three to four hours in meetings every day.
• Forty-one percent of respondents say attendees miss meetings somewhat often due to conflicts or other commitments and according to data collected by EventBoard's built-in analytics, in the past thirty days eighteen percent scheduled meetings never happened because nobody showed up to those meetings.
• Nearly sixty percent of respondents say meetings that run over are a source of workplace conflict.
  
  

Missed Connections

Regardless of the influx of available technologies, employers are still not offering employees the technological tools they need to get complete their tasks as efficiently as possible. Because of this, employees feel the need to supplement provided workplace technologies with their own.

• Over fifty percent of employees have to supplement workplace technologies with their own.
• Nearly forty percent of employees would be motivated by innovative tech tools compared to twenty percent of respondents who would be fueled by out-of-office perks including health club reimbursement or discounts on products or apparel.
• Millennials most likely to supplement lackluster workplace technologies with their own additions.
