Monthly Staff Meetings

Does your Company have Staff Meetings?

We have monthly team meetings with everyone required to attend.  When we were a smaller team, we used to have everyone contribute what was going on in their area since the last monthly meeting.

Over the years as we grew, we changed it to the managers/partners sharing what was going on in their area since the last monthly meeting and what was happening in the near future.  Comments are added as required and generates good interactive discussions on some topics.  

Everyone has an opportunity to share during the meeting.  We always ask for a team member to share a saying to inspire us to wrap up the meeting.

Last month, we started the meeting by asking everyone to go outside and form a large circle.   It was time for a fun team exercise!   We counted together to 10 while we did squats.   Even though it was a bit chilly, we had the monthly meeting outside.

The team was invigorated, refreshed and full of energy as we went back inside!
