Reduce time spent on booking meetings with Resource Central
The true currency in business is not money, but time. Although time is a scarce resource, it’s not always managed wisely in the business world. Hours each day are spent on phone calls, emails, teleconferences, and meetings. The act of scheduling a meeting is often a time-consuming endeavor in itself, involving things like finding an available meeting room, inviting attendees, ordering audiovisual equipment, arranging tables, ordering catering and other extra services, and sending invoices to service providers. To make matters worse, scheduled meetings are frequently postponed or canceled. The meeting organizer may notify attendees but forget to free up the room and cancel the extra services, so the meeting room ends up sitting empty and unneeded catering services are delivered and paid for.
When trying to drive their bottom lines, many companies focus on revenue growth but not enough focus on cutting costs. Without constantly looking for ways to lower costs and increase efficiency, companies can end up wasting time with inefficient processes and unnecessarily incur bloated overhead costs. No amount of money can reclaim the hours lost with inefficient meeting room booking processes.
The time squandered on meeting planning and scheduling takes a toll on your organization’s profits. For example, in a sales department, every hour spent organizing meetings takes away from time spent with customers, which ultimately hurts your sales efforts and bottom line. One of the keys to minimizing the time spent on meeting planning and making it as quick and efficient as possible is by arranging meetings with meeting room booking software. Meeting room software streamlines the booking process and prevents staff from wasting time searching for vacant meeting rooms. According to research firm Webtorials, by reducing workers’ unproductive time by 25%, businesses could yield an extra six weeks in productivity each year, per employee.
