Meetings in the workplace are often a poor use of time.  When minute taking is assigned to more “junior” individuals they are also often poorly recorded, so decision making and actions are compromised. Often, the last (poor) set of minutes are used as a guide, so bad habits and poor minute taking skills are perpetuated. 

This course will give you the confidence to know what to record and how to record it.

When people have a good understanding of the impact of an action focused agenda, coupled with action focused minutes, meetings become much more effective. Minutes need to be fit for purpose, and you will develop an assertive style that will be valued by participants at the meeting.

The finer details

Many of the organisations listed have protocols and proceedings dictated by constitution and rules of governance, which is very different to workplace meetings which have in house protocols.

All of these organisations have sub committees and area and regional committees that cascade information down and up, so the consistency of meeting and minute structure is important.

It is these specifics that make this training on meetings relevant and customised to need. Various constitutions will be referred to in the training.
