FAST COMPANY – Remote workplaces may find it easier to hire a diverse range of people, but remote meetings fall short in inclusivity. An analysis of 200 hours of meeting data, split evenly between in-person and remote settings, reveals that as meeting size increases, participation rates drop, with remote meetings showing a significantly lower participation rate than in-person ones. In meetings with nine to ten attendees, only 55% of participants in in-person meetings contribute, compared to just a third in remote meetings. This trend worsens for women; their participation rates decline faster in remote settings than in in-person ones. For example, in remote meetings with ten attendees, 30% fewer women participate compared to men, whereas the gap is only 12% in in-person meetings.
