Business Meetings
A Many organisations are developing ways of minimising the time workers spend sitting in meetings in order to give them more hours working at their desks. They realise that reducing the number of meetings is problematic, but some are using a device called a Meeting Meter to determine how much money is wasted through the widespread practice of over-populated and time-inefficient meetings. A general meeting in a big company can cost £9000 an hour. Even staff in UK government departments have been told to make less elaborate presentations and to get through them more quickly.
B A solution has often been to take things at breakneck speed or abolish meetings altogether. Olivia Dacourt, CEO of a retail chain, makes a point of not letting anyone sit down in her meetings. ’We cover more material in a 15-minute meeting than you’d see in a two-hour sit-down meeting,’ she says. She drills her employees to shout ’pass’ if they have no comment to make, thereby saving a hastily mumbled agreement with the previous speaker. In this way, her last staff meeting clocked in at six minutes.
C Website designer Barry Hare has gone so far as to charge his clients a meeting ’tax’. If they ask for a meeting, he doubles his design fee of £85 an hour. ’Everyone I talk to hates meetings, but they don’t know what to do about them/ he says. ’Well, I’ve actually done something.’ Similarly, at JP Products, managers have instigated a No Meetings Day every Friday. The scheme was devised by in-house industrial psychologist Ada Pearson after hearing employees joke about the need for a ’meeting-free day’.
D But abolishing meetings is not as simple as clearing them from your diary. At JP Products some workers have felt the need to get round the No Meetings Day directive by holding spontaneous ’huddles’ and ’nice to knows’ to update each other on progress. After her success in reducing the meetings quota, Pearson is under pressure from meeting-weary managers to implement days that are free of emails and telephone calls. But unfortunately she has other priorities -thanks to a lengthy meeting with the chief executive. [br] staff attitudes towards meetings resulting in action to reduce their frequency
