The overwhelming monster of “meeting culture”—which only grew during the COVID-19 pandemic—is now more complex as remote and hybrid work become the norm.

When do companies expect employees to handle their actual tasks? And how can managers help?

It’s time for a fresh approach to managing face-to-face time so your team can build relationships and get more done with fewer meetings.
