Hello, One of the biggest challenges our department faces is the abundance of meetings that we are asked to attend on a daily basis. With a department of 27, this was indeed a "conference" that was being held on a weekly basis and the meetings were often very long with standing room only. To help keep this problem to a minimum, we have department meetings only as needed and usually try to split the meetings up by team so there is an opportunity for everyone to speak if needed. We have found this to be much more effective due to staff retaining more information from the meetings. Great overview!
