Meeting Health Assessment

This is an engaging and quick assessment of your meeting health. Only 11% of meetings are considered productive! This template will help surface the problem areas and ensure you schedule meetings during appropriate times.

When to use this activity

Quarterly, 6 months, or annually with teams that have meetings they want to be more efficient.

It can be completed in 15 minutes or even sent out as a survey and discussed as a 5-10 minute agenda item.

How does it work?

There are three main sections:

1. Show of 5s: Each participant will hold up their hand in the meeting to rank up to 3 recurring meetings. If hosting this as a survey, you can have each team member put a sticky note with their score.

2. Value of time blocks: Have each team member note 3 time blocks they are most effective doing work (meaning meetings should not be scheduled in that time), and what time periods they prefer the most for calls. See if you can find any trends and if meetings should be rescheduled.

3. General feedback: Notes for ideas on how to improve meetings. You can either leave it open to all meetings or customize this template to box sticky note suggestions by specific meeting.
