HI Hi Meetings key for decision making:
Are you finding it tough to make good decisions at work or is your job on stake for taking a bad call?
Well, you could help yourself by doing something important – conducting meetings.
A Bayt.com survey, which was released yesterday (Monday, September 29), reveals that Mena employees consider meetings as a great way to make important decisions. A majority of the respondents (80 per cent) says meetings often have agendas distributed in advance. While 88 per cent claims that they tend to start on the scheduled time, 52 per cent says they normally end on time, too.
While 79 per cent agrees that key decisions are recorded and shared with all attendees, another 79 per cent adds that specific people are assigned to each task and they are responsible for carrying it out, it adds.
Bayt.com’s vice-president of sales, Suhail Al Masri, says, besides helping to make right decisions, meetings also ensure engagement across all employees. “What we recommend is to always distribute a meeting agenda in advance, start the meeting on time and finish the meeting on time. It is also important to invite only the right people, create an action list [based on] discussion points and hold people responsible for it. This establishes meetings as a key contact point for all staff [members].”
The Meetings in the Middle East Workplace poll also reveals that more than 75 per cent of executives believes that people behave appropriately during meetings, allowing them to take key decisions fast, which are also recorded and executed effectively.
