Time for focused work
Shopify is building a culture of focus by slashing unnecessary meetings—canceling thousands of recurring events and introducing “no-meeting Wednesdays.” A meeting-cost calculator helps teams see time as money, prompting smarter choices. The result: fewer meetings, more deep work, and better balance.
