Since Covid-19 the teleconference has gone from an occasional occurrence to a necessity. Now that we have all had exposure to the new technologies on offer what is the best way to utilise what’s on offer.
Top tips for teleconferences
- Agree on a time that suits all participants. Due to potential different time zones this can sometimes be tricky to locate the sweet spot that works for everyone.
- Create and send out a clear agenda outlining topics and the time allocated to each. This will enable someone to keep everyone accountable and to keep on track.
- Get everyone to introduce themselves when they enter the meeting, this will not only test their microphone and speakers but also get the meeting up and running.
- If someone has yet to contribute for a while, invite them to share their opinion on a particular topic, silence doesn’t always equal agreement.
- At the end of the meeting, thank everyone for their time and contribution which will leave the meeting on a positive note.
