Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I measure the cost of meetings?
Meetings are one of the largest sources of hidden productivity loss in organizations. Quantifying their cost encourages shorter, more focused, agenda-driven sessions.
Can I add overhead multiplier?
Yes. An optional overhead multiplier (typically 1.3x to 1.5x for benefits and office costs) can be applied to show total economic cost.
