That’s why it’s important to understand what meeting fatigue is, why it’s harmful, and most importantly, how to combat it. This creates a new problem that organizations need to address as too many meetings can lead to burnout, reduced productivity, and decreased health and wellness among employees. In fact, the number of meetings people attended every day increased as workplaces went completely remote during the peak of the pandemic, a trend that will likely continue as remote work rises.Īccording to the “Future Workforce Pulse Report” by Upwork, 36.2 million Americans will be working remotely by 2025 - that’s a 90% increase from pre-pandemic levels and 22% of the entire American workforce. The apparent need for multiple people to come together and collaborate, discuss the progress of projects, and overcome obstacles remains the same. Rather than running from one conference room to the next, people are scrambling for the right Zoom links. While that’s not to say that people didn’t spend a lot of time in meetings before COVID, the medium in which many of those meetings are taking place has changed. Remote work has risen significantly in recent years, and with it so has the number of virtual meetings. This is, to some extent, a result of the dramatic shift in the way we work following the pandemic, a change that happened practically overnight.

For Shorters, recognizing people as assets to their community has helped drive his organization’s impact and tell a more accurate story of the groups they serve.
The Miami-based organization has developed a network of innovators, leaders, and champions who invest in aspiring communities across the country and help develop positive change.
This method of thinking, commonly known as “asset-framing,” has become an essential part of the way Trabian Shorters views his work as the founder & CEO of BMe Community. “How do we create equitable outcomes for all members of our community? We can start by defining people by their aspirations, not their challenges.”
