The organization does not, but I do. I have blocked off my Fridays so that nobody "should" book a meeting on Fridays.

Before the Pandemic, from 2018 to early 2020, when we were all working from our office, we had a policy of "no meeting before 9:00" for the managers.

With this policy, our door was open for anyone to stop by and have a conversation until 9:00 am.

Because, more and more management meetings were starting early in the morning, like at 8:00 am.  And it was very hard for someone to meet his managers without an appointment.

I think that this should also be applicable in an hybrid world.   Having a dedicated period of "no meeting".   It's easier that way than having a whole day I think.

It would be amazing 😁 but I believe it is a dream.

Yes, we have informally agreed to Friday as a "no meeting" day.  This means that we do not schedule section-wide or large group meetings on that day.  This keeps the day free for working on your own schedule, or working with peers.

We've recently introduced SAP SuccessFactors in our organization and have found our contract staff doesn't quite fit in the "out-of-the-box" system, either as employees or as contingent workers.   For those using SuccessFactors, how do you manage your contract workforce?
