#1 There are reportedly 55 million workplace meetings in the United States every day. This number has increased dramatically over the past 40 years. The average person attends eight meetings per week, and managers attend 12 meetings per week.

#2 There are a lot of meetings going on at work these days, and this is especially true for those who are at the top of the organization. The reason for this is that leaders are trying to gain employee buy-in and engagement, which are important to achieve short-term and long-term organizational survival and success.

#3 The most basic way to calculate meeting cost is to consider time and salaries. For each attendee, calculate the amount of time in the meeting multiplied by his or her hourly salary. Then, add each attendee’s sum together.
