When do you have your regular meetings? Monday is a popular one but it’s one of the poorest for attendance – people take long weekends and there’s the office public holidays too. ‘When is good’, see link below, tells us that 3pm on Tuesday is the one where you’ll have most people agree but that doesn’t make it the best time and its variation from morning time is marginal. Also, agreeing to a meeting shouldn’t be the only determinant of when to hold a meeting – productivity is a more important factor. Personally, I much prefer a morning meeting so that it’s out of the way and you’ve got the rest of the day to start the actions. Research supports mid-morning as being a good time too.
