## Resource

Are meetings burning out your team? In the final episode of this five-part series, Kevin and workplace culture expert Jennifer Moss examine how meeting overload drives burnout and reduces productivity. Data shows a 252% increase in Microsoft Teams meetings since 2019 and the rise of "pajama hours," when employees feel compelled to catch up on work during off-hours. Jennifer explains why video calls exhaust us more than we realize and why phone calls might be your secret weapon against fatigue. They share practical strategies: conduct a calendar audit, convert some meetings to asynchronous formats, and invite people only when they're truly needed. They also challenge leaders to reframe declining meetings; it's not a slight, it's a gift of time.
