COVID-19 changed the way all Americans go to work. Almost overnight, workers either had to wear PPE to protect themselves onsite or quickly set up a home office to keep their companies running. While working from home definitely has its perks, like a super casual dress code, it also can have a few hiccups mainly when it comes to company meetings. How many times have you said, “Can you hear me?” or, “I think we lost Sharon or Bob or [Insert Name Here]?” For some, virtual meetings might be a totally brand new experience, for others (like your remote workers), they might simply need to work out some bugs to make their video conferencing game solid. Even as offices reopen, now that U.S. workers have shown they can be productive anywhere, it’s unlikely virtual meetings will go away anytime soon. So, for Sharon’s sake, Bob’s sake and everyone else’s sake, follow our advice on running a great virtual meeting.
