Shopify, a Canadian e-commerce company, rolled out its Meeting Cost Calculator internally Wednesday as part of ongoing efforts to encourage emptier calendars.
By getting rid of even three meetings a week per person, Shopify estimates it will see a 15% reduction in overall costs.
Shopify wants to make it easy for other businesses to see how much pointless meetings are costing them, which is why the company is rolling out its Shopify Meeting Cost Calculator Chrome extension today.
“[W]e have seen meeting creep seep back in and we needed to take immediate action,” the company wrote in the internal note this week.
“The Meeting Cost Calculator is here to challenge the status quo, nudging us to reconsider meeting necessity and explore more creative collaboration methods,” the company wrote.
