Briefings Audio Conference

Become a Wizard at Conducting Meetings: Keep Employees Engaged and Productivity High

In the United States, there are more than 11 million formal meetings per day. Studies show that meeting costs range from $30 million to over $100 million per year. And yet so many meetings turn out to be a huge waste of time.

Think about it: How often do you groan at the thought of attending another meeting? And why must you bribe your employees—even your most gung-ho employees—with free food and coffee to give them a reason to attend your meetings?

The bottom line is that meetings are mandatory to make your business more productive and profitable, but only if you make the most of the time spent planning and attending meetings.

In this audio conference, learn the keys to preventing boredom, increasing productivity and effectiveness, and engaging your employees during meetings. With consultant and author Shirley Fine Lee’s RARA meeting management approach, you will never waste time in a meeting again.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Assign appropriate roles to ensure successful meetings, that your goals are met, and that group performance is optimized.
  • Create an agenda to start and end meetings on-time, as well as keep meetings focused and on-schedule.
  • Initiate action during meetings and assign follow-up actions.
  • Utilize meeting records to track progress during and after the meeting, keep members focused and track group performance
