As an EHS professional, you probably are involved in the planning of many meetings. Has anyone ever offered suggestions for making them more effective?

Did you know that about 90 percent of workers say they regularly daydream during meetings and as many as 6 in 10 say they take fake notes to appear as if they’re paying attention?

  • 63 percent: Meetings without a formal agenda.
  • $75 million: Annual loses per year due to inefficient meetings.
