Meetings that drag on endlessly with seemingly nothing to show for it are a burden for everyone. They are a time sink for your staff, preventing them from accomplishing other tasks, and they are a drain on morale. Fortunately, by following a few simple tips you can learn how to hold short, productive meetings that meaningfully advance the overall goals of your company.
Here are three key tips from 4Corners Business Centers:
Keep the Meeting Small
Only invite people to the meeting who really need to be there. A small, concentrated group is always more effective than a large, unwieldy one. The more people there are in the meeting, the greater the chance that the conversation will go off topic in your meeting room rental space, resulting in a meeting that wastes everyone’s time.
Pick the Right Meeting Space
It is also important to choose the right location for your meeting. Make sure you choose a space that has comfortable seating for all meeting participants and comes with working technology. There is nothing more frustrating for employees than a meeting that gets delayed due to technological problems that should have been sorted out beforehand. Our conference room rental spaces are designed with comfort and productivity as the top concerns.
Keep an Eye on the Clock
If you schedule a 30-minute meeting, keep an eye on the clock and make sure you have enough time to get through all the items on your agenda before the 30 minutes are over. Do not hold meetings that go over the allotted time. This will make your employees feel like you don’t value their time.
