“Make meetings work”
Statistics show that on an average people have 8 meetings per week across all employee types and company size. Almost all employees preferred if their meetings were well-planned. Whatever said, business meetings are often the best way to communicate and collaborate with all employees at the same time. It is often the most common platform for team building. But, what about the attendance to these meetings? Do all employees show up? Most organisations revert to having a perk or food served to increase attendance. While experts claim that food plays an important role in a meeting, the time of the meetings is also critical to the kind of food served. So, how do you keep your meetings fun and what kind of food should you offer? Esseplore understands the dilemma of most organizations when it comes to planning meetings. There is always the balance between budgets and employment wellness to consider.
