Unproductive meetings are a major problem in America. With over $37 Billion wasted annually on failed meetings, a lot of time is wasted as well. Did you know that the average professional spends 12% of his or her working life in unproductive meetings? If it’s this bad for the average meeting, imagine how unproductive web and audio meetings are! Over 50% of the workforce reports that important meeting activities are more challenging in a virtual environment. It’s difficult to express options, manage conflict, make decisions and build trust when you aren’t in-person. But virtual meetings aren’t going away. The positives outweigh the negatives. Companies report a 58% reduction in communication costs after implementing virtual meetings. Furthermore, employees report that they are 70% more likely to be able to access needed knowledge and experts with the addition of virtual meeting environments. Virtual meeting products also enable the ‘virtual office’ (telecommuting), which increases employee productivity and saves companies an average of $11,000 per year per virtual employee.
