âRethink Your Meeting Culture
Few topics divide workplaces more than meetings. Some love them. Others see them as a necessary evil. And a few wish theyâd disappear entirely.
No matter where you stand, one thingâs clear â Swedes love meetings. In fact, we meet a lot. During the pandemic, even more so. Studies show we spend roughly 30% of our work hours in internal meetings. Of those, half lack a clear purpose or goal. Add that 40% of participants think decisions are unclear, and itâs easy to see the problem.
Inefficient meetings donât just drain energy â they cost money. A company with 100 employees can lose over 10 million SEK a year in meeting time. Thatâs around 77,000 SEK per employee.
So should we cancel half our meetings? Maybe. Or we could just make them better.
Build a Smarter Meeting Culture
Start by setting clear goals. Limit participants. Summarize decisions. Give everyone time to prepare. And skip the meetings that donât add value.
But most importantly â improve internal communication. Thatâs where the real efficiency boost lies.
Smarter Meetings with lynes
lynes helps teams replace unproductive meetings with structured communication. Hereâs how:
Daily stand-ups
Instead of wasting 15â45 minutes every morning, ask your team to post their updates directly in a shared lynes thread. Everyone gets instant visibility without losing focus or time.
Brainstorming sessions
Collaborate in real time, wherever you are. In lynes, everyone gets heard â not just the loudest voice in the room. Ideas stay documented in chat threads, ready to revisit later.
Reviews and approvals
Upload files, gather feedback, and use reactions for quick approvals. Everything stays in one place, and you save hours of unnecessary meetings.
Fewer Meetings. More Flow.
With lynes, you can call, chat, video meet, share your screen, and keep every project conversation in one place. Many of our users report fewer and more effective meetings since switching to lynes.
