More Than Just an Inconvenience
Scheduling a meeting at 10 PM for your colleagues in another country isn't just inconsiderate; it's bad for business. The hidden costs of poor scheduling can be significant.
The True Impact:
- Employee Burnout: Regularly asking employees to work outside of normal hours is a leading cause of burnout and turnover.
- Reduced Engagement: A tired, groggy employee who has been up late for a meeting is not going to be an active, creative participant.
- Lost Productivity: The time spent trying to schedule the meeting, and the recovery time needed after a late-night call, is all lost productivity.
- Negative Company Culture: It signals that the company does not respect employees' personal time or work-life balance.
Investing in a simple tool like a Meeting Time Converter and creating a fair scheduling policy has a direct and positive impact on your bottom line.
