Meeting Etiquette: In-Person vs. Virtual: In today’s global, digital business environment, more and more meetings are being held virtually. But regardless of the location, proper office etiquette still applies.
When conducting a virtual meeting, we should keep a few aspects in mind to perform the session as smoothly and professionally as possible.
Here are few suggestions to keep in mind the next time you host a virtual meeting from your office or the comfort of your house.
-Send the meeting agenda to the attendees to be prepared for the discussion points.
-Be mindful of the time zone and how it might impact the attendees from around the world.
-Remembering to test the setup (guilty of not paying attention to this point. 🙁)
-Arrive on time to the virtual meeting to set the tone and to be able to start promptly.
-Mute everyone by default is one important etiquette tip.
-Be appropriately dressed.
-Clear the background.
-Arrive ahead of time as mentioned above.
-Give a chance to everyone to speak.
-Do Not interrupt others.
-Summarize the points discussed before ending.
-End the meeting on time and allow the participants to leave.
