- 37% of employee time is spent in meetings

- 47% consider too many meetings the biggest waste of time

- Over 70% brought other work to meetings
- It is estimated that 25-50% of meeting time is wasted

Your employees spend a lot of time in meetings and ineffective meetings can ultimately lead to billions of dollars lost each year.
There’s no surefire way to ensure a successful meeting, but having a regular or even one-time meeting facilitator is a great way to rigorously manage the meeting process.
Facilitation, meaning “to make easy” or “ease a process,” allows every meeting participant, whether it’s hundreds of people or a team of ten, to walk away with an understanding of their objective or their alignment for the group and the team. It allows organizations to have an objective outsider who is aligned with you on whatever the goal is, asking the right questions, and managing the flow of meetings.
