10 Things to remember when organising a meeting 📋

With meetings for up to 30 people still permitted, subject to the venue adhering to all the required Covid-secure guidelines, for many colleagues, a meeting will potentially be the first or only time they have all been together.

The role of these meetings is not just about the content itself. It is also about allowing remote workers, or regional/national departments, to get together in a room with sufficient space to accommodate social distancing, for some valuable face-to-face time.
