About this course
A report from BetterMeetings.org found that professionals (from the UK, Germany, and the USA) spend 2 hours a week in pointless meetings, which added up to over $541bn worth of resources in 2019.
BetterMeetings also found that two-thirds of professionals feel that face-to-face meetings make it easier to make important decisions and help them understand other peoples’ opinions and arguments better. So it's crucial that the meetings staff do attend are both effective and efficient.
Our Effective Meetings Training will help staff to understand how they can contribute to a meeting to help make it effective, offer practical tips on how they can add and gain value
from each meeting they participate in, whilst also explaining meeting etiquette.

Informative
A clear presentation.
Fine but nothing very new to me.
I enjoyed this one but although it referenced the problem of there not being enough time to get through the whole agenda for a meeting, it didn't really give me tangible solutions, when everyone is very busy pretty much all the time. Catching people for a follow on meeting might be near impossible when it was hard getting everyone together the first time round. This could, of course, be our organisation's problem and one that we have to solve. Perhaps we need to employ more people! Good to have someone timing items though and helping to move things on. That might be useful.
Good that it included virtual meetings.
Helpful if people need a quick reminder of how a meeting should run, good that it includes virtual etiquette too.
