The Fellow team had a great time creating this report 🚀 I learned so much about the current state of meetings (and what the future of meetings could hold 👀)! For example, 23% of respondents said their organization never collects meeting feedback 😳 I think the stats, pro tips and expert advice throughout this report will help all those who attend meetings. Check it out if you haven't already! 🙌

@kamela_nizio It wouldn't have been possible without you and Mikaela! I'm so excited for managers and leaders to use the best practices outlined in the report to make their meetings better :)

Hey Product Hunt community 😻 😻 We're back with another exciting resource to level-up your meeting productivity! This time, the Fellow.app team surveyed 530+ managers and leaders (including managers at Shopify, HubSpot, Twilio, Medium, and Lightspeed) to understand how they're running their meetings and adapting to remote work 🌎 💻 Personally, I was shocked to learn that 63% of people don’t have a single source of truth for meeting action items 🤯 🤯 ... and that meetings can cost companies between $43,008-$56,448 USD per manager every year!! This report outlines insights and best practices to help you increase meeting efficiency, as well as our predictions for the future of meetings 🚀 🚀 (hint: people want to replace status updates with asynchronous communication!) Huge shoutout to @kamela_nizio, @mikaela_friedrich, and @matt_emond for making this report a reality. We also want to thank @lara_hogan, @joulee, @charliegilkey, Allison Lee, @darrenmurph, @mwermuth, @sedsimon and all the great leaders that, in one way or another, contributed to this report! 🙏 Finally, don't miss @aydin_mirzaee's introduction outlining our key findings and vision! Here's to making work better for everyone, one meeting at a time! 💪

So timely - meeting culture has changed so much this last year. Excited to see teams re-design meetings from the ground up

@stew_hillhouse You're right, Stewart! Remote meetings require a completely different approach than traditional, in-person meetings. I'm excited to see how other teams apply the insights and expert advice shared in the report!

So excited for this to finally be out. We notionally say managers spend half of their time in meetings but to see that we spend $50k/year for them to go to meetings, just makes it real in a way I hadn't understood it before! Great job on the report!!

@aydin_mirzaee ~$50K a year PER MANAGER 🤯 Another great reason to make sure every meeting is meaningful and productive ✅
