And we can tell you right now that your employees are thinking about it, too.\n\nWe all know the feeling of finishing up a meeting and thinking, yep &#8211; that could have been an email.

A cadence that gets your team members looking forward to their meetings and not dreading them?\n\nIf you&#8217;re ready to stop spending money on pointless, empty meetings, this one is for you. It&#8217;s time to implement an effective framework around your communications cadence.\n\nBefore we kick off, you should understand that a distributed team communication cadence will look different for every organisation. It could differ depending on the company and employee&#8217;s personal communication needs.\n\nMost importantly, finding the right balance will take <strong>time and trial and error. <\/strong>Now let&#8217;s get stuck in!\n<h2 id=\"decide-the-types-of-meetings-you-want-to-have-and-stick-to-it\">Decide the types of meetings you want to have and stick to it<\/h2>\nWhen you think of all the types of meetings out there and the jargon that goes along with them, you might begin to feel overwhelmed &#8211; and we don&#8217;t blame you. There are countless meeting types, and one is likely to tick all the boxes for your team.\n\nStrategy sessions, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/virtual-brainstorming-sessions\/\">brainstorming meetings<\/a>, training, WIPs, 1:1s, we&#8217;re here to help break down some common types of meetings that may be suitable for your business.\n<h3 id=\"one-on-ones-11s\">One-on-ones (1:1s)<\/h3>\nAt 91爆料, we&#8217;re big believers in one on ones (1:1s). 1:1s are a scheduled weekly or fortnightly catch-up that an employee has with their direct manager. Not only are they a great way to catch up on how their past week or fortnight has gone, but it&#8217;s also a chance to commit to things for the future.\n\n1:1s can work to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/stay-connected-virtually-with-coworkers\/\">strengthen the relationship<\/a> between managers and their team members, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/support-remote-employee-wellbeing\/\">help to reduce turnover<\/a> and increase productivity as they foster accountability. For 1:1s to be as <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/running-effective-11s-bundle\/\">effective as possible<\/a>, they should adhere to three key things:\n<ul>\n<li>Scheduled<\/li>\n<li>Recurring<\/li>\n<li>Structured<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"work-in-progress-wips\">Work in Progress (WIPs)<\/h3>\nWIPs or &#8216;Work in Progress&#8217; meetings are designed for teams to establish accountability and reach deadlines.\n\nThis can help with productivity within a team or project as it ensures everything is on track.\n<h3 id=\"all-hands\">All Hands<\/h3>\nAll-Hands are a company-wide meeting held weekly, fortnightly or monthly. It covers general updates, celebrations, new starters and anything else relating to everyone in the business.\n\nRemember, this is a chance for your leadership team to inspire the rest of your employees and an opportunity to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/how-to-inspire-a-team-at-work\/\">create an inspired workforce<\/a>.\n\nAt 91爆料, we hold weekly All Hands meetings on a Friday afternoon.\n\nThis allows the team to unwind after the week that was. It&#8217;s also a time that works for everyone as it can help ease into the weekend.\n<h3 id=\"daily-standups\">Daily standups<\/h3>\nStandup meetings are quick daily meetings designed to be had on foot. This follows the principle that no one wants to be standing up for a long time, therefore won&#8217;t sit down and extend the meeting unnecessarily.\n\nThe goal of a standup is to quickly talk through important tasks that need to be finished that day, are in progress or are getting started.\n<h3 id=\"performance-reviews\">Performance reviews<\/h3>\nA performance review is an assessment with an employee and their direct manager to evaluate performance, define strengths, identify weaknesses, review professional goals and plan for the future.\n\nThe goal of a performance review is to use the feedback received for professional improvement and to identify any areas of concern.\n\nHowever, performance reviews are not limited to these areas; they can also include discussions around:\n<ul>\n<li>How the employee is currently progressing toward goals<\/li>\n<li>How effective their working style is<\/li>\n<li>Soft skills such as time management and communication<\/li>\n<li>Attendance, punctuality and behaviour in the workplace<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe reality is that for many employers, performance reviews only occur once a year. <strong>But this shouldn&#8217;t be the case.<\/strong>\n\nThe fact is, employees want to know how they&#8217;re performing. They want to know if they&#8217;re meeting expectations. They want to know what they can do to improve their performance.\n\nThis is why we&#8217;re big believers in creating a culture of feedback as part of your communication cadence.\n\nNot sure how to create a performance review schedule? We&#8217;ve put together a few example schedules that might work for your organisation.\n<h3 id=\"feedback-schedule-example-1\">Feedback schedule example 1<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1x Bi-annual performance review<\/li>\n<li>Weekly 1:1 with direct reports with a pre-prepared list of questions<\/li>\n<li>Defined quarterly goals using <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/okrs-guide\/\">OKRs<\/a><\/li>\n<li>1x Annual salary review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"feedback-schedule-example-2\">Feedback schedule example 2<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1x Quarterly performance review<\/li>\n<li>Fortnightly 1:1 with direct reports including a set list of questions<\/li>\n<li>Defined quarterly goals using OKRs<\/li>\n<li>1x Annual salary review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/goal-setting-remote-teams-okrs\/\">How to set OKRs for virtual teams<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-might-a-distributed-team-communication-cadence-look-like\">What might a distributed team communication cadence look like?<\/h2>\nGetting your distributed team communication cadence will take time. It&#8217;s best to test a few options and find what works best for your team members. It&#8217;s also important to note that every team will look a little different &#8211; different teams will also have different cadence frameworks.\n\nNot sure where to get started? We&#8217;ve put together an example communication cadence framework that might work for your remote teams.\n<h3 id=\"1-the-entire-company-meet-once-a-week-for-an-all-hands-meeting\">1. The entire company meet once a week for an All Hands meeting<\/h3>\nThis is a meeting for the entire company to get together, usually run by a member of the leadership team. This is time to walk through any updates, celebrations and key results for the week.\n\nAt 91爆料, we hold these on a Friday afternoon as it allows everyone to ease into the weekend and celebrate the week that was.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/remote-company-culture\/\">Promoting company culture for remote teams<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n<h3 id=\"2-a-meeting-with-your-direct-team-once-a-week\">2. A meeting with your direct team once a week<\/h3>\nDepending on the size of your team, this may look a little different for each organisation. However, getting together once a week with your direct team member can help keep everyone aligned and working towards targets and goals.\n\nManagers should talk through results and discuss high-level strategies to help reach targets.\n\nUpdates on any project-based work should also be shared at these meetings, as well as updates on hiring or headcount changes.\n<h3 id=\"3-weekly-11s-with-your-direct-reports\">3. Weekly 1:1s with your direct reports<\/h3>\nHolding weekly 1:1s are an important way for your direct reports to talk through the work they&#8217;re doing, as well as bring up any challenges they&#8217;re facing. It allows your team members to commit to things for the future, as well as bring up any issues they may be facing in their personal life.\n\nFor 1:1s, we suggest having set questions each week. This way you can stay on track and allow the employee to bring up anything on their mind &#8211; whether it&#8217;s positive or negative.\n\n<em><strong> Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/can-technology-fill-the-gap-of-physical-connection\/\">Can technology ever replace physical connection?<\/a><\/strong><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/1-1-meeting-template\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"One on One Meeting Template\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42202 size-full\" height=\"2161\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1-1MeetingTemplate-1.png\" width=\"3840\"\/><\/a>\n<h3 id=\"4-set-recurring-meetings-and-invite-all-members\">4.

According to <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2017\/07\/stop-the-meeting-madness\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Harvard Business Review<\/a>, 64% of employees believe that meetings come at the expense of deep thinking.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/overcome-challenges-hybrid-workforce\/\">How to overcome common challenges with remote work<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n<h3 id=\"5-have-an-agenda-for-each-meeting\">5. Have an agenda for each meeting<\/h3>\nPlanning your meetings is one of the most important things you can do when it comes to holding an effective meeting.\n\nHave a clear structure for your meetings, and if it&#8217;s a longer meeting, you should send around the agenda a day in advance. This lets everyone know what will be covered and allows your team members to adequately prepare for the session.\n\nIt also makes it obvious when the topic of the meeting is getting pulled in an unrelated direction, allowing you to bring it back to the main reason for holding the meeting with ease.\n\n<em><strong> Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/remote-meetings-how-to-guide\/\">Guide to running effective remote meetings<\/a><\/strong><\/em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Joey and Chandler clapping\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42843\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/ezgif.com-gif-maker-copy-2.gif\" width=\"301\"\/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>When the meeting finishes on time<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"6-assess-whether-or-not-the-time-allotted-is-realistic\">6.

Chances are, you&#8217;re not going to get it right from the get-go.\n\nMany organisations endure meetings that are too frequent, poorly timed and badly run. This is a leading recipe for losses in productivity and overall business success.
