Leapsome Launches Free Meetings Module To Help Managers Drive Alignment And Productivity

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leapsome, the intelligent people platform for employee and manager enablement, is doubling down on its commitment to helping companies drive business success and make work fulfilling.

This is an alarming finding, considering other studies have shown that people spend more time in meetings today than in years past. Ensuring this time is spent productively is critical for individual, team, and business success. Unproductive meeting culture has led some organizations to eliminate meetings altogether or set strict guardrails around when and how they occur.Meeting efficiency is key to driving alignment and productivity in a challenging macroeconomic environment where managers are asked to do more with less. The ability to run effective meetings is core to manager effectiveness in times of change
