Scalar - Meetings OS
Improve your meeting culture. Implement Meeting Guidelines, Calculate meeting costs and analyze data
Distractions are one of the biggest problems we face at work today (if not the biggest), as they don't allow us from doing real focused work. Meetings are sometimes necessary, but also one of the biggest work killers, specially after the pandemic and with remote work.
- The average employee spends +20 hours a month in unproductive meetings
- It can take 25 minutes to get back in flow after a meeting
Scalar Insight is a meeting cost calculator that break the bad meeting habits of all employees by showcasing the cost of a meeting on Google Calendar, helping to reduce the number of meetings and maximize time to build/ do client work.
Additionally, Scalar provides a library of Meeting Guidelines (e.g., Mandatory agenda or Meeting Free Day) to showcase to all your employees in Google Calendar and a dashboard to understand what's happening, do a meeting audit and see the impact the tool in your meeting culture.

Overview
The implementation of the tool takes less than 5 minutes, you can even use it without adding salaries and just set up an average salary. Important, you have to be a Google Workspace Administrator to set up the tool, initially. If you aren't, don't worry, we will help you and your administrator to set it up.
The tool admins can access a dashboard in which they can see data regarding the meeting health and culture of their organization (meeting cost evolution, average time on meeting per employee, average number of meetings per employee, number of meeting-heavy employees, most expensive recurring meetings etc.).
They can see the monetary impact of the as well. In order to do this, they have 3 options: set up an average salary, upload the salaries of their employees via CSV or via automatic connection with their HR system (Gusto, Zenefits, Workday, Factorial, Personio etc.).
Once implemented, the adoption for the employees is very simple. They have to download a Chrome extension and after that they will start seeing the extra information in their Google Calendar, not making them use another tool or change their habits.
For CEOs, HR and other execs with salary visibility in the company, our Chrome extension showcases the real cost of the meeting, both when scheduling a new meeting and when the meeting is already scheduled.
You can now have the same tool as Shopify!
For the rest of the company (those without salary visibility), the tool does not showcase the real cost, but a comparable and a bar (Affordable, Moderate, Expensive), thus, protecting the salary privacy.
Examples of comparables are:
- Similar to a flight from NYC to LA
- Similar to a five stars hotel night
- Similar to a taxi ride to the airport
- Similar to a Taylor Swift concert ticket
Your employees will be reminded every time they schedule a meeting on how to better use the time.
Many companies have established meeting guidelines to increase focus time and productivity. For example:
- Shopify (No meetings Wednesdays)
- Facebook (Mandatory purpose and meeting agenda)
- Spacex and Tesla (Do not create recurrent meetings)
When companies establish guidelines, they have to constantly remind them to create any effect and they don't have data about the impact. With Scalar Insight now you can stop reminding everyone and start having real-time data to make data-driven decisions!
You can create your own meeting guidelines or choose them from our library. Some examples:
- Mandatory agenda
- 50/25 minutes default time
- No meeting day
- Maximum of attendees
You need Scalar Insight if you want:
- Reclaim 1 more day of work per month per employee (20% decrease in internal meeting time).
- Reduce employee burnout and increase productivity
- Create a company culture of focus and builders
