Ever since last year, it feels like most of our time has been spent on meetings due to our remote and hybrid working conditions. Meetings are necessary, but sometimes they can get a little too long, wasting everyone’s time and resources.
According to a recent survey, 37% per cent of employees believe that their organization’s most significant cost is unnecessary meetings. (Source: Doodle)
Recognizing this, Google Workspace has introduced a feature called Time Insights, where users can see how much time they spend in meetings daily by syncing with Google Calendar.
This feature eliminates the phenomenon of ‘out of sight, out of mind’ because users can easily see how much time they are spending in meetings. Being aware of how much time they actually spend in meetings, will certainly help in being more efficient with their time.
Google Workspace Time Insights’ – Keep track of how much time you spend at your workspace
- Time in meetings: This shows how much time you have spent in meetings, meeting heavy days in your calendar, and the frequency of different meetings.
- Time breakdown: Shows and breaks down the types of meetings you have.
- People you meet with: This shows who you spend the most time having meetings with.
Time Insights: Who’s impacted
Admins and end users are both affected.
Time Insights: Why you’d use it
