Performance review via frequent and productive management meetings are a key part of overall performance improvement. We have developed both an audit criterion to review these meetings and also a process to ensure focus on meeting objectives and outcomes are met. Management meeting routines also identify areas that are being performed well and highlight improvement opportunities.
Once you clearly define your meetings, everyone knows why they are there and understands how meetings are designed to achieve the desired outcomes. By forming habits of having a meeting audit timetable, it will ensure that your meetings are continuously delivering a positive result.
Our program calls for a tiered approach with escalating review levels, each designed with a specific purpose and involving the appropriate team members
