Conducting Effective Meetings

Why effective meeting training is important.

Is your organisations workday packed with unproductive meetings? Time spent together is not always time spent getting work done. 

According to Atlassian (2019) 

• An average employee will attend 62 meetings 
• ½ the meetings attended are considered to be a waste of time by the attendees 
• An average of 31 hours are spent in unproductive meetings per month 
• 73% of attendees completed other work during the meetings that they attended 
• 91% of attendees daydreamed during meetings 
• 47% complained that meetings were the #1 time-waster at the office.  

 Is this your workplace? 

What would be the benefit to your organisation if meetings were more engaging and productive? 

Meetings are meant to be an engine of productivity in the workplace. However frequently they are a ‘chatfest' filled with death by PowerPoint, ideas disappear and there is little or no follow up until the next meeting.   

Knowing how to run effective meetings is a basic but critical skill for anyone at work. 

Deploy this targeted, highly engaging training, and start to reap the rewards of high-performance meetings. 

Learners will focus on how to overcome the pitfalls of poor meeting management via planning for success, utilisation of targeted communication skills, conducting a productive meeting and associated follow up.  

Other aspects include: 

• Preparing an effective agenda to control the meeting's content and pace 
• Ways to keep diverse team members engaged and interested in participating 
• Strategies for handling questions, objections and conflicts during meetings 
• Review technology and engagement of remote meeting attendees 
• Closing the meeting, minute taking and follow up action.
