Welcome to today’s episode! Let’s talk about a workplace phenomenon that many of us can relate to: “meeting hangovers.” These are the feelings of exhaustion and disengagement after a long, unproductive meeting. Believe it or not, studies show that 28% of meetings leave employees feeling drained, and a staggering 90% report experiencing these hangovers at least occasionally.

So, how can we combat this issue? Jotform CEO provides some effective strategies. First, always set a concise agenda. This helps determine if a meeting is truly necessary, and ensures the right people are involved. As they say, “If an asynchronous method can achieve the same outcome faster, we opt for that instead.”

Next, keep conversations on track. Meetings often veer off course, but it’s vital for leaders to gently steer discussions back to the agenda. This way, you can wrap things up efficiently.

Finally, recap with clear deliverables. Summarizing responsibilities ensures accountability and keeps tasks from slipping through the cracks. Using AI tools can aid in generating concise summaries and action items, making follow-ups more manageable.

By implementing these tactics, we can reduce the time spent in unproductive meetings, decrease those dreaded hangovers, and foster a more energized work environment. Thanks for tuning in!
