As the old saying goes, few things in life are certain. Death, taxes, and — if you’re in tech — lots of meetings.
Meetings, while a mostly essential part of remote work, can be inefficient, and oftentimes you might think, “Could this have been an email?” It can even cost the company money.

It tracks the cost of every meeting you attend and schedule, and gives you a bird's eye view of your company’s meeting landscape so you can see what needs to stay and what can go.

Privacy at the core: A hard truth about debating meeting costs is that salaries must be visible. Scalar’s Insights tool is currently built for CEOs, HR, and other executive roles who have salary visibility, and the team is working on implementing Insights for all levels whilst maintaining salary privacy.
