Do you feel exhausted following video conference calls?
Virtual meetings have replaced traditional face-to-face meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic. Working from home and attending meetings online may sound exciting, but they are actually more draining than in-person meetings. As working from home become the new normal during COVID-19, many of us are spending a lot of time on video meeting applications like Zoom. Have you ever found completely drained after back-to-back online meetings in a day? If yes, you’re not alone. A lot of people are dealing with what is called as ‘Zoom fatigue.’ It is greater for women than men, according to a new Stanford University research released on the Social Science Research Network. Overall, one in seven women (13.8 per cent) reported feeling “very” to “extremely” fatigued after Zoom calls compared with one in 20 men (5.5 per cent), the researchers said.
