Meetings are a vital part of modern business, but poorly managed ones can waste time, drain productivity, and frustrate employees. On the other hand, well-structured meetings drive collaboration, alignment, and decision-making.
The VH Courses CPD Certified Managing Meetings Effectively Training Course equips professionals with the skills to plan, run, and follow up on meetings that truly achieve results. With practical guidance and support from our AI Course Tutor, learners gain confidence in leading productive meetings across any business environment.
Why Effective Meeting Management Matters
Research shows that professionals spend up to 35% of their time in meetings, yet many of these are considered unproductive. Effective meeting management helps:
-
Save Time – Avoid unnecessary meetings and keep discussions focused.
-
Increase Productivity – Ensure actions are clearly assigned and tracked.
-
Improve Decision-Making – Create clarity and alignment among stakeholders.
-
Enhance Team Engagement – Encourage participation and ownership.
-
Build Professional Confidence – Run meetings that demonstrate leadership and organisation.
