According to McKinsey, more than 20% of the workforce will work remotely at least three to five days a week beyond 2021, and 42-63% of all inter-employee communications can be done remotely. Use the Remote Meeting Instructions slide to guide new hires and clients through your company's remote meeting process.

More than $399 billion is wasted in ineffective meetings every year, and unproductive meetings cost the average company over $700,000 annually. Measure the effectiveness of your meetings with this Results and Outcomes slide. Track key KPIs and analytics across meetings to determine if they achieved results.

Outcome

Meetings increased by 13% in 2020, but overall time in meetings decreased by 20%. In 2020, 67% of all meetings were 30 minutes or less, while only 20% lasted a full hour. Since the average individual can only concentrate on a single topic for 10 to 18 minutes, shorter meetings are proven to be more effective and raise employee satisfaction.

Questions and answers

How can tracking monthly progress post-meeting help in confirming that goals are met?

Tracking monthly progress post-meeting helps in confirming that goals are met by providing a clear picture of the progress made towards the set goals. It allows for the evaluation of the effectiveness of the strategies implemented and the actions taken during the meetings. This tracking can highlight any areas that may need improvement or adjustment, ensuring that the team stays on track to meet its goals. It also promotes accountability among team members as they can see the direct impact of their actions on the progress towards the goals.

Why is it important to profile attendees, stakeholders, and presenters in meetings?

Profiling attendees, stakeholders, and presenters in meetings is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures that everyone in the meeting has a reason to be there, which increases the meeting's effectiveness. Secondly, it helps in understanding the roles, responsibilities, and interests of the participants, which can guide the meeting's agenda and discussions. Lastly, it can help in identifying the decision-makers and influencers in the meeting, which can be useful for achieving the meeting's objectives.

Application

This deck can help cut down your overall meeting time and make your meetings more effective. Visualize each meeting's agenda, goals, topics, and next steps. Share key insights with all attendees in a digestible way so everyone leaves knowing what to do next for maximum impact.

Outline goals. Break down meeting agendas by minutes, hours, days and weeks. Organize your team's whole week at a glance and share schedules with visually optimized slides.
Optimize agenda. As 44% of employees report less time to finish their assignments after a poorly organized meeting, establish session goals to keep meetings organized.
Build-in time to brainstorm. Shorter meetings keep energy levels up. Incorporate breaks and silent brainstorm sessions to improve the flow of ideas.
Profile attendees, stakeholders, and presenters. Google, Amazon, and Apple all agree — in order for meetings to be effective, everyone in the meeting needs a reason to be there.
Track monthly progress. GEven a good meeting is a failure if follow-up actions are unclear. Track company progress post-meeting to confirm goals are met.

Lastly, gather feedback from attendees. The best way to confirm each meeting's effectiveness is to poll your employees individually and share feedback to learn and grow.

Implentation
