If your team is required to collaborate in-person, a well-oiled Meeting Room Management system is essential. It can transform your office into a hub of collaboration, ease the burden of booking and allow teams to thrive in today’s hybrid work environment.
Centralize Meeting Room Management to avoid duplicate scheduling efforts and ensure everyone has access to the same meeting space information. Set clear booking policies and guidelines to manage the use of rooms, including how far in advance they can be booked and the procedure for rescheduling meetings. To avoid confusion and conflict implement policies through automated reminders and notifications.
Make sure that your meeting room software integrates seamlessly with the office tools that your team uses, so it’s easy to book spaces on-the-go. The most effective solutions allow employees to book rooms via their personal calendars, a dedicated mobile application, and a user-friendly display outside of each space that shows real-time availability.
Make sure that your solution offers access to the usage of each space, so you can spot areas to improve. Consider adding a check-in period to spaces that are often used for meetings with a single person. This will encourage turnover and allow you to use the larger conference rooms for other reasons. Access to comprehensive analytics will provide information about high-usage times and help you plan your schedules accordingly and minimize scheduling conflicts and excessive energy consumption.
