Better definitions of problem

Lack of interest in meeting- No, the team is interested in their work or else they would extra meetings as an excuse to get away from their work

Lack of solid meeting agenda - Yes, the meetings could be too frequent and dragged out due to a lack of agenda and not getting to the points important to the team. This could in turn make the team feel bogged down!]]> 2021-05-22 20:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/willparker1234/w1n9rzbrb2a0z5hg/wish/1550500386 willparker1234 https://padlet.com/willparker1234/w1n9rzbrb2a0z5hg/wish/1550517411 Five Why's

The team is feeling bogged down. Why?
Because of the meetings. Why?
The meetings are too long and frequent. Why?
They don't have a solid agenda. Why?
Because employees don't have a place to decide what relevant topics of discussion and current workplace issues are based off their work in the field. ]]> 2021-05-22 21:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/willparker1234/w1n9rzbrb2a0z5hg/wish/1550517411 willparker1234 https://padlet.com/willparker1234/w1n9rzbrb2a0z5hg/wish/1550533716 Having meetings through Skype could help the team to feel less bogged down as they don't have to go through the hassle of getting prepared and going to an actual meeting room so much. This can also allow for less formal and more brief meetings. 

Another idea would be creating a facebook page for the company where employees could post things they think need to be talked about in order to create a relevant agenda for discussion during meetings in order to condense time spent at meetings. At the same time the company could post to the page to give employees notice of tedious reminders to avoid repeatedly giving them at meetings. They could then just mention during the meeting that employees should look at the information on the post on their own time after the meeting. ]]> 2021-05-22 21:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/willparker1234/w1n9rzbrb2a0z5hg/wish/1550533716 willparker1234 https://padlet.com/willparker1234/w1n9rzbrb2a0z5hg/wish/1550541587 Skype solution: 

Pros: 
Convenient
 Less preparation
  Option for shorter meetings as Skype is less formal than face to face

Cons: Meetings will still be too frequent
            Relevant discussion topics still may not be addressed. 
            Employees may not take meetings as serious

Facebook solution: 

Pros:
Will allow for relevant topics of discussion
Employees can voice what they feel needs to be talked about
Meetings can be condensed as there is a clear agenda for discussion
Less important but still necessary topics can be shared to the facebook page

Cons:
What is important to talk about to one employee may not be to another
Too many topics may be presented by employees making meetings longer

Overall a Facebook page is a better solution.]]> 2021-05-22 21:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/willparker1234/w1n9rzbrb2a0z5hg/wish/1550541587 willparker1234 https://padlet.com/willparker1234/w1n9rzbrb2a0z5hg/wish/1550554159 Waking Up Inc. will implement the new facebook strategy using a Network Diagram to explain what is appropriate to post to the page as well as discussing what will be discussed at meetings and what will be posted to the facebook page. For example questions regarding the merging of how operations will go during the merging Waking Up Inc. and another wellness company they acquired will be discussed during the in person meeting; whereas the information for the new healthcare plan will all be included in a link on the facebook page and you can speak with HR about it if you have any questions as not to take up meeting time. ]]> 2021-05-22 21:48:50 UTC https://padlet.com/willparker1234/w1n9rzbrb2a0z5hg/wish/1550554159
