Recurring meeting

What is a recurring meeting?

A recurring meeting is a scheduled gathering that repeats automatically at a set time interval. Typically, the frequency of a recurring meeting is weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. This type of meeting can be very useful in facilitating regular communication and collaboration among team members, without requiring additional planning and coordination efforts. Recurring meetings also guarantee that a meeting room or virtual space is available for the team.

However, there are also potential downsides to recurring meetings. One such risk is the phenomenon of ghost meetings, where attendees fail to show up or cancel their attendance at the last minute. This can result in wasted time and resources, and also damage team productivity and morale. Additionally, recurring meetings can contribute to a bad meeting culture, leading to fatigue and burnout among team members.

By tracking meeting attendance and using meeting management tools, organizations can optimize the benefits of recurring meetings while minimizing their potential drawbacks.
