Effective Meetings Training for
Employees
April 5, 2013
Introduction

Surveys indicate that employees spend on average between six
and twenty hours per week in meetings. These same surveys
reveal that the majority of employees feel the time they spend in
meetings is unproductive. Meetings, however, do not have to
consume so much time and can be conducted efficiently.
This sample presentation is intended to help you make your
meetings more effective. It is intended for presentation to
employees who chair meetings. It is designed to be presented
by an individual who is knowledgeable in making meetings
effective. This is a sample presentation that must be
customized to include and match the employer’s own policies
and practices.
