Meeting room no-shows aren’t just an inconvenience – they can also be costly for your organization if you don’t keep them under control. A report from 2009 by Herman Miller showed that meetings cost companies between $30 million and $100 million per year. Studies show that an average of 40% of meetings are no-shows.  Meeting room no-shows take place when someone books a meeting and then cancels it but doesn’t cancel the room booking. As a result, unoccupied meeting rooms appear as reserved in the meeting booking system. Other employees who are looking for a meeting room may not find one available. A quick stroll around the office would lead them to determine that there are plenty of unused meeting rooms, yet none of them can be booked.

In today’s business environment, there is a greater emphasis on maximizing efficiency and minimizing costs due to precarious market conditions. One area of business where costs are often higher than they need to be is in real estate. Office space is used poorly in many organizations. Workspaces remain empty, not only outside office hours, but also during the workday. According to an internal study performed by Intel, 60% of their workstations were empty at any given time of the day. A diversity of factors, such as flexible working arrangements, restructuring, and long-term leases, may cause workspaces to remain empty often and lead companies to have more office space than necessary.
