The occurrence refers to instances where the information conveyed or decisions made during a scheduled gathering could have been effectively communicated through written correspondence. Examples include routine status updates, simple information dissemination, or approvals that require minimal discussion.
Addressing this issue is important for optimizing resource allocation and improving overall productivity.

Recognizing and reducing unnecessary gatherings allows employees to focus on tasks requiring more complex collaboration and critical thinking. This shift can lead to a more efficient use of time and a decrease in workplace interruptions.
