As a manager, you need to help move your company forward. To do so, you need a great team in place. To maximize your team’s productivity, host regular meetings with them. Here are five reasons why regularly meeting with your staff is a must.

• Keep Team Members Informed

When a member discovers something new, completes their part of a project or has an issue arise, they can ensure others are aware of the new development and how it affects their project. Team members can ask questions or provide their input accordingly. Also, if a significant amount of information needs to be discussed, a staff meeting is the perfect opportunity to share the information and answer questions.

• Solve Problems

When your team gets together, they can voice their problems and concerns, share what solutions worked in the past and collaborate to find new ones. Because your members most likely come from different generations, have different life experiences and hold different values and beliefs, you will receive a variety of viewpoints on how to best handle the issue. Your team will work more cohesively when members know they have the information and support necessary for completing their work.

• Innovate

Your team members can suggest methods to more efficiently and effectively complete processes to save the company time and/or money. Members can share their visions for the organization, such as new products/services that may be offered to stay competitive, along with ways to implement those ideas. When team members play a role in moving the company forward, they feel greater job satisfaction, stay engaged in their work, and remain loyal to the company longer.

• Provide Feedback

You can discuss company policies and operating procedures to determine whether they’re being adhered to and/or need altering. Additionally, you can discuss your team and company goals, ensure each member understands their role in helping achieve those goals and provide feedback on how well your team is working toward the results. In addition, if your company is making substantial changes, your team can remain informed on what’s happening and why.

• Recognize

Participating in regular staff meetings helps your team recognize their accomplishments. When each team member’s contributions are acknowledged, they feel appreciated and want to work harder to increase their performance. Teams then form stronger bonds, work more collaboratively, and help move the company forward.
