The Hidden Cost of Meeting Setup

How Context Switching Drags Down Productivity

Current Pain Points in Remote Collaboration:

  • Team members manually leave Mattermost to access Whereby
  • Multiple steps create 2-3 minute delays per meeting
  • Context switching disrupts focus and workflow
  • Meeting links get buried in busy channels
  • The process repeats multiple times daily across teams

Impact: For teams with just 5 impromptu meetings per day, this represents 10-15 minutes of lost productivity daily—or 40-60 hours annually per team on meeting logistics alone. This doesn't account for the additional cognitive cost of task switching and regaining focus after each interruption.
