One of the many benefits working remotely is the lack of those ‘urgent corridor’ meetings which turn into boardroom scuffles.
It’ll just be an hour of your time? But what if one multiplies that hour by the number of people brought into the room.
You then start to see the real loss of productivity. The same can be said for the number of people cc’d on that ‘important’ email.
Meetings and email are an important part of business, just make sure the time spent is more valuable than the time lost.
