Engagement & Gaining Trust

• It is important to create an atmosphere in which each team member can feel confident and comfortable right from the start. In this case, people are more inclined to get involved and contribute to the cause more willingly.

• Bitrix24 communication tools allow you to add various icebreakers to your team meeting agenda. If you're holding the session remotely, send something entertaining to the group chat and count how many likes and comments you'll get from your coworkers, or address them directly via videoconference. You can also attach some funny picture or an interesting fact to your presentation. It would catch the audience's attention and generate a positive vibe.

Reports & Feedback

• Updates, metrics, highlights and roadblocks are vital to a team meeting agenda because they determine at what stage of implementing strategic purposes your company is. Bitrix24 offers a wide range of reporting and analyzing instruments. It shows employees' profiles and company structure, allows you to track time spent on accomplishing the tasks, calculates absence, leaves, and workday duration. If you need advanced analysis, you can create an efficiency report, Gantt, burn/burn down charts, Kanban boards, and checklists.

• Receiving feedback from your team is a sign that you're the type of leader that values opinions and is open to suggestions. Plus, your employees might actually bring some valid notes to the table. However, you should remember that constructive criticism of someone's professional performance in front of the group is acceptable, but it's better to leave comments on personal behavior for a private talk. If it's an online session, allow them to speak via chats, or video/audio calls & conferences. They can also share pictures, videos, and documents to prove their point.

Plans & Ideas

• As soon as you assessed what has already been done, it's time to proceed with defining your future actions.

• Generate and modify task sequences, delegate responsibilities, assign roles & resources.

• Visualize frameworks with customizable schemes and maps.

• Bounce ideas and brainstorm tactics via chats, conferences, and calls.

• With Bitrix24's enhanced collaboration tools, all the participants with granted access, including employees, clients, and partners, can contribute to the meeting, share data, and express their opinions with likes and comments, for example.
