New analysis reveals how being seen in meetings drives performance, focus and collaboration

The power of being seen in meetings.

A new analysis on research carried out at London School of Economics’ Behavioural Lab reveals that being clearly seen in meetings has a powerful impact on how people engage, contribute and perform.

At Jabra, we have a relentless focus on engineering the video conferencing technology that powers the world's most productive meetings. As a part of this, we regularly carry out research with academic partners to better understand human interaction in virtual meeting environments.

Having collected millions of datapoints from over 500 minutes of lab-recorded video meetings, new analysis on research carried out at the London School of Economics reveals that being clearly seen in meetings has a powerful impact on how people engage, contribute and perform.

The effect is immediate and measurable. People who are clearly visible are not just more present, they’re more effective.

Participants who were visible stayed focused for over half the meeting. Those who weren’t struggled to stay present for even a third of the time.

3x more expressive

When people feel seen, they show up fully. The range of emotional expression triples, helping teams build trust, alignment and momentum.
