What do women want?
Who is most supportive of online meetings: men or women? The later, according to a survey by Harris Interactive on behalf of TeamViewer.
"The survey highlights that women are at the forefront of technology in the American workplace," says TeamViewer.
The results showed that, in general, women were more likely than men to see the benefits of taking their meetings online, with a majority of US adults (77%) saying that online meetings are on the rise.
Specifically, women were statistically more likely than men to say:
· They could save money in transportation costs – (78% vs. 71%)
· You don’t have to waste time traveling to meetings – (77% vs. 71%)
· Online meetings are less nerve-racking – (37% vs. 26%)
· People are less distracted – (22% vs. 16%)
Women are also much more demanding, the study concluded. When asked which characteristics are most important for an online meetings host to have, women were more likely to say:
· Organization – (81% vs. 68%)
· Fast-paced – (64% vs. 52%)
· Respectfulness – (60% vs. 50%)
· Fair – (57% vs. 51%)
· Decisive – (40% vs. 34%)
· Clever – (17% vs. 12%)
"These findings demonstrate that women are on the cutting edge of technology and are having a big impact on the way the modern office is evolving," said Holger Felgner, General Manager at TeamViewer.
TeamViewer is one of the world’s most popular providers of remote control and online meetings software.
