Engaging in meeting room management is a fantastic way to boost productivity at work. Automating the booking process cleaning up the rooms and keeping them filled with supplies, encouraging best practices and making changes that are based on patterns of booking can help meetings get off to a smooth start and finish on time. To make these improvements easier to implement, consider using the right software that will assist you in creating seamless and user-friendly experiences.
Meeting Room Management software makes it easy for employees to reserve space and manage bookings from any device. Idealy, it should offer real-time updates in order to avoid double bookings. It should also integrate with existing tools like calendar applications or collaboration platforms. Compatible with digital signage applications and allowing everyone access to the right information no matter where they are.
Having a room booking policy in place is a great way to reduce the number of no-shows and ghost meetings which consume time, money and resources. A simple policy that enables employees to use smaller huddle rooms for two-person meetings and larger conference rooms for groups of five or more people will help to save space and enable employees to maximize the utilization of your meeting rooms.
Another way to boost the efficiency of a meeting room is to implement an advanced booking system that will automatically cancel a meeting room reservation if no one signs in within the allotted time. This is typically done by sending an automated reminder to both the organizer of the meeting and attendees. The meeting organizer will be able reschedule the meeting for another time, and the room is immediately available to other employees.
