Morning and Evening Meetings to Strengthen Your Team

Morning and evening meetings held at the departmental level

The purpose of morning and evening meetings

In addition to the company-wide morning meeting, we also hold morning (and evening) meetings within each department.
You might be thinking, "How much does he love morning meetings?!"
While company-wide morning meetings are effective because they involve the entire group, this also means that it can be difficult to address every detail.
Therefore, we hold morning and evening meetings at the departmental level.

Different objectives for each department

Compared to company-wide morning meetings, departmental morning and evening meetings tend to allow for more individuality to shine through.
For example, a salesperson and a programmer have different job responsibilities, strengths and weaknesses, and different personalities.
It's natural that the content of morning and evening meetings differs from department to department.

Implementation of morning and evening meetings

Tips for operation

The key is simply not to make it too formal.
It depends on the company culture and the ideal organizational structure, but if you make things too rigid, the department will become a tense and hostile environment.
The key to successful implementation is creating an environment where people can speak frankly, always maintaining the perspective of being colleagues and peers.

The content is basically up to you.

As long as it doesn't contradict the minimum standards we must uphold and be mindful of, such as our philosophy of "creating smiles," the management team will not comment on any content, no matter what it may be.
The job content itself changes depending on the department, and it also varies greatly depending on the leader and the atmosphere of the department.
If I had to recommend one thing, it would be sharing the problems you're facing at work, and sometimes even just complaining.
Just letting others know about the situation you're in can lessen feelings of loneliness.
There's nothing more painful than feeling lonely at work.

A place for communication with new employees

New team members often have anxieties and questions about the tasks they've been assigned.
However, when I look at my seniors to ask for advice, they're always busy, making it difficult to approach them...
That might be the case.
By holding morning and evening meetings within the department, you can ensure that there are at least two opportunities for communication each day.
For new staff members, it provides an opportunity to consult with senior colleagues and to reflect on the day together.

What do you think?
The company-wide morning meeting is literally an initiative for the entire company.
I introduced departmental morning (and evening) meetings as a way to complement this.
While departmental morning (and evening) meetings sometimes consist mostly of casual conversation, this can't be ignored when there are staff working remotely.
Understanding each other's interests and passions through casual conversation can help alleviate feelings of loneliness.
Each department has its own unique character, which makes it interesting, so if you're interested, why not give it a try?
