So it’s Friday, you’re having your end-of-the-week meeting, and things are dragging—you have other assignments due and you just want to get back to your desk and finish before the weekend, which is the case most times in meetings: they just…keep…lagging…
And this lag isn’t cheap, as it turns out. Ever think about how much those lingering meetings cost?
MeetingCalc for the iPhone will factor an equation to show you; figuring in how many people are present in the meeting, you add attendees as they come in and attach their hourly rate, then depending on how long the meeting is, the app factors in all present people in their meeting along with their pay divided by how long the meeting took, so you can see the overall cost of precious work time that meeting took away. Seth Taylor, the app creator, says it’s pretty much, “the cure for the common meeting.”
Of course, you need to be in some sort of authoritative position to see these statistics to deem useful for the future meeting plans, and the app doesn’t have a salary calculation, but is a good solution to foresee future meetings don’t exceed the time limit unnecessarily—plus, it’s only 99 cents.
Could this 99 cent app save your company hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars?
