Teams are tired of virtual meetings and events! Here is why…
A survey by Twingate reported in June 2020 that of 1000 remote employees interviewed, 40% experienced mental exhaustion from video calls.
Virtual workshops should have lasting impact, otherwise…
- Your team will feel their time has been wasted
- You end up with lots of ideas with none being actioned
- Attendees forget most of what they learnt by the next day
- You wasted your money!
Why badly delivered virtual meetings are energy-sucking!
- No break from screens
- No engagement, easy to be distracted and do other things
- Harder than face-to-face conversation
- Use of the wrong technology causes barriers
- BORING!
You want to fire them up not burn them out
Doodle surveyed over 1100 U.S. employees, 38% said virtual meetings can lead to them being exhausted and 30% said they caused stress.
