- Employees spend an average of 31 hours per month in unproductive meetings. There are fairly significant variations based on role, industry, and organizational practices.
- The average person spends just under two hours per day checking and responding to emails. This includes sorting through the inbox, reading through email threads, and composing responses. That’s 42 hours per month.
- On average, workers spend approximately 1.8 hours per day searching for information. This equates to about 9.3 hours per week. That’s 37.2 hours per month.
- So here we find the average worker is spending 110.2 hours a month on these repetitive tasks. Many of us spend much more.
- Solving even just one of them with the best associated tools means a significant chunk of our cognitive load is lifted. As of 2024, I think AI tools are likely the most mature with augmenting employees with how they handle Meetings.
