> Meetings are the most expensive, most poorly-understood activity in the modern workplace. This page collects the most important meeting research and statistics available — drawn from peer-reviewed studies, major workforce reports, and the work of [**Dr. Steven Rogelberg**](https://meetkairos.com/resources/who-is-dr.-steven-rogelberg-how-is-he-revolutionizing-meetings-today), the world's leading researcher on meeting science.

**Why [Kairos](https://www.linkedin.com/company/meetkairos) curates this data:** Kairos is built on the science of effective meetings. We work alongside Dr. Steven Rogelberg — UNC Charlotte Distinguished Professor and author of *The Surprising Science of Meetings* — whose research directly shapes how Kairos approaches meeting design, follow-through, and calendar intelligence.

In the summer of 2025, we started sharing an experiment of [30 daily meeting problems & how to solve them, based on research](https://meetkairos.com/resources/30-research-backed-tips-for-better-meetings). After seeing how many folks the [MeetingMinute LinkedIn campaign](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kristy-hissa_meetingminute-activity-7363902703023910913-qW0-?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAABp9p5QBFFKtPER5fp63DvUsuWqH5t-kjT0) helped, this page was a natural next step.

We maintain this page so that anyone making the case for better meeting culture has access to the best data available.
