Based in Austin, Texas, a small software company offering SaaS solutions is known for delivering amazing products and fostering a collaborative, high-performing workplace culture. However, as with many companies, the last quarter of the year had its pressures. With multiple projects to complete, a professional development quota that needed to be filled, and the looming task of planning for the coming year—team leader Josh sought a solution to tackle these demands. That’s when he discovered GettaMeeting.
The Problem
By October 2024, Josh was juggling several challenges:
- Pressure to Use Professional Development Funding
Josh struggled to find an impactful and cost-effective way to utilize the remaining professional development budget.
- Need for Increased Productivity
With deadlines quickly approaching and multiple overlapping projects, the team needed strategies to improve focus and streamline workflows to get across the finish line.
- Difficulty Balancing Focus with Reflection and Goal Setting
Beyond completing projects, the end of the year called for evaluation, celebrating achievements, and creating goals for 2025. The leadership team wanted a structure to allow for reflection and planning without hindering day-to-day performance.
Josh needed a solution that holistically addressed these challenges—boosting productivity while laying a foundation for long-term growth.
The Solution
Josh turned to GettaMeeting’s Workplace Productivity Series, a comprehensive productivity tool designed to inspire teams and improve outcomes. This three-module meeting bundle includes Healthy Habits, Maximize the Minutes, and Enhanced Focus, all of which perfectly aligned with the company's needs.
Key Features of the Workplace Productivity Series:
This meeting module emphasizes building positive routines and training employees to make purpose-driven decisions. Employees learn techniques for maintaining focus and self-discipline, as well as tips for creating work-life balance.
This module delivers insights on time management, teaching employees how to prioritize effectively and make the most of their time. The content inspires leaders and team members to take control of their schedules.
Employees are introduced to strategies for leveraging short, intentional bursts of focus to maximize productivity. The concept of the “Power of Ten” encourages ten-minute concentrated work sprints and helps team members stay engaged during high-pressure project phases.
These video modules, accompanied by curated playlists, meeting material suggestions, team-building activities, and more were simple yet powerful tools that Josh could implement immediately.
Implementation and Customization
The modules were integrated into the team's existing workflow as part of their weekly team meetings.
- Short-Term Impact: The Maximize the Minutes and Enhanced Focus sessions were used right away in the first two weeks to create strategies for approaching year-end deadlines.
- Long-Term Value: The Healthy Habits module provided a framework for employees to reflect on their personal and professional goals and align them to company initiatives moving into 2025.
Additionally, the meeting enhancements packaged with the modules—such as curated book recommendations and printable worksheets—helped keep the team engaged long after the meetings.
Budget-Friendly Benefits
The value-packed series allowed the company to purchase all three modules for just $443, saving thousands when compared to hosting traditional in-person workshops. Even better, GettaMeeting's modules could be reused to benefit new hires in the future.
Results
The outcomes of implementing GettaMeeting's Workplace Productivity Series were both measurable and highly impactful.
- Effective Use of the Professional Development Budget
Josh successfully utilized his professional development allocation without exceeding the budget. With the series priced at 25% less than purchasing individual modules, Josh successfully delivered savings while prioritizing high-quality training.

By applying productivity strategies from the modules, the company met all year-end project deadlines. Additionally, employees reported feeling more focused and less stressed, which translated into higher engagement during crunch time.
