Weekly staff meetings are a great way to get your staff together and regroup, but they can also be really boring. If you feel like your meetings have grown dull and generally unproductive, 
it’s time to give them a makeover.
As a leading Las Vegas temp agency, PrideStaff Las Vegas believes in the importance of regular team meetings. However, they shouldn’t be a waste of time. Find out how to spice things up.
5 Creative Ways to Make Meetings More Productive
Start Strong
Ease your way into business chatter by starting the meeting with a little fun. Tell an interesting story, play a quick game or ask attendees a thought-provoking question to warm them up and get them interested.
Remove All Chairs
It might sound crazy, but pushing all chairs to the side of the conference room and requiring people to stand for the duration of the meeting will certainly speed things up. This is a great way to ensure people stick to the point, instead of rambling off topic.
Change the Scenery
Your conference room is nice, but employees are bound to get a little bored when every meeting is held there. Breathe fresh life into your next meeting by holding it in an alternate location. Take the team outside or find a different room in the building big enough to accommodate the group, because a change in scenery will liven things up.
Check Electronics at the Door
If attendees don’t absolutely need electronic devices during the meeting, improve focus by asking everyone leave their laptops, cell phones and tablets at the door. When you have the team’s undivided attention, productivity will inevitably surge.
Set Consequences for Going Over
It’s very common for staff meetings to run well over their expected length, because conversations tend to go off-topic. Encourage your team to stay on task by setting a penalty for exceeding the intended time limit. This should of course not be anything too serious, but enough to inspire people to stay on track during the meeting. For example, make the team do jumping jacks if the meeting doesn’t end on time.
