Uber | Firm schedules 'no-meeting Mondays' to allow staff to have 'focus time'

Uber has reportedly introduced some 'meeting-free Mondays', a move which sees the firm join a growing list of employers making efforts to avoid the dreaded 'Zoom fatigue' among its workforce.

The Independent has reported that the taxi and food delivery company earmarked two Mondays this summer to be meeting-free, to give employees a break from back-to-back calls.

Uber’s Chief People Officer, Nikki Krishnamurthy, is said to have sent a company-wide email last month, detailing the plans for July 12 and August 9 which, it is hoped, will allow employees time to recharge.

As reported by Insider, Krishnamurthy told colleagues: “We know it can be tiring to have back-to-back meetings with no time to focus.”
