What You Can’t See, You Can’t Manage
Calendars show how employees plan to spend their time, but call activity tells a broader story about how work is actually unfolding across the organization. Over time, teams often add new types of meetings such as video calls, chat-based huddles, and quick syncs without reducing other forms of collaboration.
Without visibility, you cannot answer:
- How much time employees spend in meetings and calls across the business?
- How meeting and call load differ between teams?
- When new meeting types appear and how they affect other work patterns?
- Whether collaboration is improving efficiency or reducing it?
Our technology throws off the data that can help us understand ‘the meeting problem’. Without that context how can you ever measure the impact of programs meant to improve better time management and productivity?
What if you could measure the biggest source of productivity loss in the modern workplace.
Produce8 can illustrate how meeting and call activity is changing across your organization. Identify rising trends early, assess trade-offs between meeting types, and guide teams toward more balanced collaboration.
Organization Meeting Metrics in Executive Reports
Call and meetings metrics are included in the distributable monthly report that allows executives to keep tabs on a potentially problematic drag on productive working time.
Breakdown Internal and External Meetings
Not all meetings were created equal. Larger meetings have greater time loss impacts, internal calls can be less impactful than external.
Long Terms Trends Tell the Story
A moment in time measurement of meetings and virtual call volumes is helpful, but understanding how things are trending is more relevant for leaders.
Departments Leverage Meetings in Different Ways
You probably want your revenue focused employees interacting with customers and partners. Back office staff are more likely to take part in internal conversations. Tracking departmental data gives a better sense of the indicators you want to keep tabs on.
Measure the Impact of Change
Produce8 surfaces change indicators all over the application. Alternatively, ‘challenges’ can help window before and after impacts of your change initiatives to combat meeting overload.
How it Works
- Step 1 - Connect Calendar and Call Data
Produce8 integrates with conferencing and communication tools to track the total amount of time spent in scheduled and unscheduled meetings and calls. - Step 2 - Measure at the Team or Organization Level
All metrics are aggregated and anonymized. You can view averages by team or department to identify where collaboration load is increasing. - Step 3 - Spot Trends and Impacts
See when new patterns emerge, such as an increase in ad hoc calls without a decrease in scheduled meetings or messaging. Use this insight to guide policies to establish healthier collaboration habits.
What You'll Learn
Produce8 gives you an understanding of scale of the problem of meeting overload and help you keep tabs on the impact of programs meant to combat it.
- Average time spent in meetings and virtual calls
