What’s The Cost of The Meeting?

Do you need to attend a weekly meeting which you think it’s a total waste of time? Why don’t you put some number to it and propose to the chair person to reconsider the format of the meeting or even cancel it?

Here’s how you can put numbers to the meeting

1) First calculate the combined salaries of all the participants

2) Add to this the annual cost of your respective organization’s overheads

3) Divide the sum by the number of workings hours there are in a year (working hours per week multiplied by working weeks per year)

4) Add any sundry hourly costs, such as room hire.

And this will be the cost per hour of the meeting. So does it worth it? Present this to chairperson so that you will have a stronger case to escape the meeting.

Good luck!
