Meetings in the workplace are a part of everyday life. Although meetings are not exciting, there are ways to making sure meetings are more efficient, which includes writing meeting minutes, or notes. When proper meeting minutes are not recorded, business associates tend to be lost and sometimes reschedule meetings with the same purpose which gets less accomplished. Make sure the minutes writting answer the following ten questions:
- When was the meeting?
- Who attended?
- Who did not attend?
- What topics were discussed?
- What was decided?
- What actions were agreed upon?
- Who is to complete these actions?
- Were materials distributed at the meeting?
- Is there anything else the minute reader should do?
- Is a follow-up meeting scheduled? if so, when?
By following these ten steps, confusion will be avoided and more productive and effective meetings will be produced.

Dear Mr. Crumbly;
ReplyDeleteI think this is a good subject to write about. Anyone who has ever been a member of a Universtiy organization, knows the importance of writing effective meeting minutes. Also, in the future as Professionals, we will most likely deal with meeting minutes in the workplace.
Sincerely;
Eusebio Moreno.
