Why have a meeting, when it could've been an email?

About this episode

The episode discusses the common sentiment among workers that many meetings could have been replaced by emails, featuring insights from Manon Poirier.

If you’ve ever sat in a meeting thinking “this could’ve been an email,” you’re definitely not alone. A new Léger survey commissioned by Quebec’s Order of Certified HR Professionals finds nearly two-thirds of workers feel exactly that, even though most say they don’t actually spend that much time in meetings overall. Manon Poirier, CEO of the Order of Certified Human Resources Professionals, spoke with Andrew Carter.
