What is a weekly meeting?
Weekly meetings are pretty much what they say on the tin - a chance for you to get people together to discuss new strategies, review performance and solve any pressing problems. They can also be great for planning ahead on a more technical level compared to say quarterly goal-setting.
It’s important for teams to have effective communication and that can be lost if it’s not effectively passed down from leadership and management. Without consistent meetings, the team can drift away from the company’s goals and objectives.
This applies even more so when teams are remote.
Remote weekly meetings let your team check in with each other and stop issues from escalating into bigger problems.
Weekly meetings are also great for cutting down on daily emails. If your team is constantly inundated with messages, important things can get lost. A quick weekly catch-up can ensure this doesn’t happen. You can also boost morale here by highlighting accomplishments - small and big.
