There’s nothing worse than starting (or attending) a meeting only to realize that it could have been an email.

In fact, poorly run or unnecessary meetings are one of the top complaints employees have about their jobs.

Consistent meetings, on the other hand, are crucial for keeping teams aligned and focused on collective goals. And while there’s no perfect formula for scheduling them, there are a few best practices you can follow to ensure your team is getting the most out of its time together.

Poorly run or unnecessary meetings are one of the top complaints employees have about their jobs.

Slowly but surely, people are beginning to understand the importance of scheduling consistent meetings. In today’s society, it’s easy to get lost in a non-stop work cycle and push your limits beyond what’s healthy.

There is no perfect formula for scheduling consistent meetings, but there are a few best practices you can follow to ensure your team is getting the most out of its time together.

First, try to schedule your team’s meetings at the same time each week. This will help everyone know when to expect the meeting and allow them to block off that time in their calendars.

Additionally, have a consistent duration for each meeting. Whether it’s 30 minutes or an hour, knowing how long the meeting will be will help people plan their days accordingly.
