Meetings on the Move
Get employees out of the office and on their feet. Use meetings on the move, suggest public health experts from Washington University.
Walking and talking promotes physical activity, gives people a different perspective, improves team spirit, is cheap and green, and may lower stress levels, among other benefits.
Try these tips for holding a productive meeting on the move:
- Assign a note taker or use a tape recorder.
- Set an agenda (brainstorming, planning, informational).
- Plan a simple route (local parks, tracks, empty office areas, warehouse).
- Encourage walkers to wear comfortable shoes.
- Vary the locations of your walks to increase creativity.
