Meeting Norms
What Are They?
Why Are They So Important?
Organizations and teams often establish clear meeting norms to ensure productive and efficient virtual meetings. These norms provide structure, promote collaboration, and help minimize misunderstandings. Below are some key meeting norms for remote and hybrid work. For more information, see the blog post.
Breaks Between Meetings
Comfort breaks are intentional pauses between meetings to improve productivity and reduce the strain of back-to-back sessions. These breaks help maintain focus and creativity, and provide an opportunity for overall well-being.
It is important that departmental leaders communicate these comfort breaks as valued and necessary meeting norms.
Set Clear Agendas
Each meeting should include an agenda with clear objectives, shared with team members before the meeting to keep everyone on the same page and help with preparation.
It is important to assign roles during these meetings, including a facilitator, timekeeper, and note-taker, to maintain structure and the meeting record.
No Meeting Days
One day a week (like Wednesdays or Fridays) without meetings provides dedicated time to complete high-priority and complex tasks and special projects without interruptions.
This day without meetings also helps to reduce the fatigue associated with back-to-back meetings, which leads to burnout and lower employment engagement and overall job satisfaction.
