Whenever anyone talks about AI in the Portland startup community, Reclaim.ai immediately jumps to mind. They’ve been at this AI thing longer than most. And they’ve been using AI to resolve a common but particularly thorny problem: scheduling meetings. And, more often than not, rescheduling meetings. Now, they’ve released their latest feature, Smart Meetings — but the data they used to inform the feature may be even more interesting.
We’ve all been in bad meetings, but good meetings energize us, motivate the team, and lead us to great things. So when we think about the cost of meetings, it’s not always the time we spend in them, but the opportunities your team misses out on due to the chaos of a busy workspace calendar. In fact, employees average 17.1 meetings/week, yet 3.5 meetings are skipped and 4.2 are rescheduled every week. That’s almost half the meetings on the calendar that are impacted by scheduling conflicts.
In this trends report, we surveyed over 1,300 professionals on their meetings, which meeting types occupy the most time on their calendars, and the most common scheduling issues they face in their workplace. This data was collected in a research study in preparation for the launch of our Smart Meetings feature to understand how scheduling could be improved employee-wide across an organization using AI.
