A good way to keep meetings in check is to look at how expensive they are based on the number of hours being spent. This encourages teams to meet with only the required attendees and for less time. Use our meeting cost calculator or estimate the hourly cost per attendee. For example, the UK average wage of £31,464 is an hourly rate of around £15 per hour. So a one-hour meeting with four people costs an average of £60 for your employer.
