Hotel Meetings & Communication Toolkit: Hotel Meeting Agendas and Templates

Full description

This toolkit is for hotel general managers, heads of department and supervisors who want fewer, shorter and more useful meetings. It gives you a full meeting rhythm from the department line-up to the monthly business review. It also gives you the formats and words for clear messages, escalations and hard conversations. The workbook tracks actions, decisions, briefings and meeting cost, so you can see what is overdue and what meetings cost before the next HOD meeting starts.

Save with a bundle: this template is also in the Hotel People & Leadership Bundle, 10 templates for $29 instead of $69. All 141 templates are in the All-Access Hospitality Template Library for $79.

How it works

1. Open Settings in the workbook. Set the report date, targets, roles and departments.
2. List your standing meetings in the Meeting Calendar. The sheet calculates meetings per year, person-hours and annual cost.
3. Run each meeting with the agenda in the Playbook. Record minutes on the minutes sheet in Forms.pdf.
4. Enter actions and decisions the same day. The tracker flags overdue and due-soon items.
5. Open the Dashboard before the weekly HOD meeting and read overdue actions first.
