What metrics does the Meeting Effectiveness report track?

This is a comprehensive list of the metrics we track in the Worklytics Meeting Effectiveness report. Note that your organization may not have all of these metrics activated. Please contact your administrator if you believe you don't have a specific metric.

Time Spent in Meetings

Percent of an 8 hour day that the typical team member spends in meetings. 

Example: if your team spends '4 hours' in meetings this value will be '50%'

Impact of Meetings on Focus

This metric is designed to measure how much time people have to concentrate and get work done outside of meetings. Research shows that knowledge workers need periods of up to two hours of uninterrupted time to focus and problem solve. This metrics calculates how much time the average team member has in periods of at least two hours of uninterrupted time. 

Example: 

Quality of Meetings

This is a proxy metric for how focused meetings are. We look at what percent of peoples time in meetings is spent doing other things such as sending email or chatting to other people. 

Example: A quality rating of 85% means that on average people spend 15% of their time doing other things in meetings

Time Spent in Meetings by Group Relation

This is a breakdown of who your team typically spends time meeting with. Meetings are broken into three categories:

Within Group: Meetings with other people in the same group whose report you are currently viewing 

Other Groups: Meetings with other groups, outside of the current group, but within the organization

External Orgs: Meetings with other organizations.

Estimate Meeting Cost

This is an estimate of the total value of employee time this groups spends in meetings. By default is assumes the average employees time is worth $30 / hour and multiplies this by the number of hours in meetings. This is then projected out for the next 12 months to give a sense of the estimate yearly investment the group makes in meetings.
