In the era of remote work, virtual group meetings have become a way for teams to connect, collaborate, and develop new ideas. With the right approach and strategy, it’s possible to create an engaging environment in these meetings that facilitates productive discussions and encourages collaboration.
To ensure getting an active participation from all members of your team, include activities such as icebreaker questions or sharing updates from each individual. This can help people get comfortable with each other quickly and generate discussion among those who are more reticent about sharing their thoughts. Additionally, set ground rules for virtual meetings to help everyone stay on task and keep conversations focused on the purpose of the meeting at hand. Establishing a timeline is also key – this will help keep everyone accountable and prevent conversations from veering off-topic or taking too long.
