Meetings and summertime <\/em>do they mix well? This is the question posed by Bird Office in its new study, \"Summer at the office\", based on 1,120 testimonials. \"As you might expect, [meetings] are less productive than the rest of the year, except for 20%, who consider that their company meetings are effective, even in summer\", stresses the specialist in meeting rooms<\/a>. Three major factors - which, all things considered, are quite logical - explain this lack of efficiency: the number of absences (49%), the general lack of concentration (40%) and the heat in the meeting room... As a result, meetings do not seem to have become a \"pastime\" to fill these summer days, which are by nature less busy, as the study points out: \"We thought that many of you would do more meetings than usual, simply because you have nothing else to do. In the end, we were surprised: only 5% of you do this\".\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other findings include the fact that 42% of those surveyed take advantage of the drop in activity to see their colleagues outside the office more often, while 35% of studious employees use the summer to catch up on their professional projects. Finally, it should be noted that summer does not necessarily mean idleness, as a third of employees (32%) believe that they work better during this period of calm. This is particularly true of small organisations, with the figure rising to 46% among SMEs.<\/p>\n
