Online and Hybrid Meeting Management Training

The rise of remote and hybrid work has brought new challenges to running engaging meetings. With attendees joining from offices homes and elsewhere, it can be difficult to maintain focus and participation at the same level as fully in-person sessions. Many meeting organisers express frustration with the commitment and engagement of virtual participants. Online meeting disengagement has become common, with attendees multi-tasking, checking out mentally or getting distracted.

Sildo published a surveys showing that in your average meeting:

  • 57% of attendees are actively multitasking during online meetings
  • 44% said they become demotivated and bored
  • 42% confessed that they browse news or social media

Partial attention and fading focus during online meetings has become an engagement pandemic. Once participants retreat into passive observer mode, it is extremely difficult to re-engage them. So this course is a total shake up on how you run meetings in order to establish connection and ensure full active participation in every meeting you run from this point forward.
