Meeting Etiquette

meeting-etiquette

  1. Always include an agenda in your meeting’s invite.
  2. Make sure to invite relevant people - do not invite for the sake of inviting.
  3. Be mindful of time zones and working hours.
  4. Show up on time - culturally, “on time” means different things in different parts of the world. In the corporate world, and in a global/international setting such as Axios, “on time” means at the time of the meeting.
  5. If you will be late, drop a quick note in the chat. It’s free, and it gives the other person a heads up.

noteBest Practice

Remember to stay on mute during a meeting, to avoid unwanted disturbance.
