Introducing the Meeting Cost Calculator
Meetings are essential for collaboration and decision-making, but they come at a cost. Our Chrome extension dives deep into your Google Calendar, computing the cost associated with the time spent by attendees in every scheduled gathering. While most organizations grasp the direct costs of meetings, this tool illuminates the often-overlooked expense - your team's precious time. Beyond just the numbers, the extension translates these costs into real-world comparisons, bringing the true price of frequent or lengthy meetings to light.
Time is money, and neither should be wasted
The Meeting Cost Calculator reveals the hidden expenditures of meetings by translating time into monetary value. As organizations increasingly rely on frequent meetings for decision-making and team alignment, understanding these concealed costs becomes paramount. By showcasing the financial equivalent of time spent in meetings, the extension provides organizations with actionable insights to optimize team productivity, allocate resources wisely, and maximize return on time investment.
A new perspective on meeting costs
Increased meetings can often take away from meaningful productivity. The tangible costs of these interruptions, however, are difficult to quantify. By representing these costs both monetarily and in relatable terms—such as equating a meeting's cost to ten annual MicrosoftWord subscriptions— it brings attention to time as a valuable commodity.
