Is Your Team Having Too Many Zoom Meetings?

Do you feel burned out by too many synchronous meetings within your online company?

You’re not alone. Online companies tend to over-utilize video communication.

It’s best in this case to follow the 80/20 rule: 80% asynchronous communication, 20% synchronous.

Here are two places where synchronous communication is important:

1. One-on-ones: Where you have a manager talking to team members about career goals and expectations when working with the company.
2. Brainstorming: When you need to get creative ideas to flow from your team.

However, these should then lead to asynchronous communication, where team members are able to further build upon the ideas discussed.

Being intentional about synchronous communication will go a long way in keeping your company productive and happy.
