The New Morning Meeting
Social distance and scrubs are the new trends at the C&H morning meeting. We always gather bright and early as a team to prepare for the day and ensure we’re working synchronistically towards common goals. It’s a great venue for offering support and ensuring we bring our best for each other and our patients.
We were inspired to start holding these morning meetings after reading research conducted for Harvard Business Review. This research has consistently found that meetings, when conducted correctly, “can efficiently bring together ideas and opinions and allow people to do their jobs in a more coordinated and cooperative manner. They help individuals form a coherent whole that is more adaptive, resilient, and self-directing, especially in times of crisis. Perhaps most important, meetings help establish and promote consensus, thus serving as a focal point for collective drive and energy.” As a team, we’ve certainly found this to be true.
As we adapt to COVID-19, the challenges are new and different, but the meeting and the goals are still the same – we’re just sitting further apart. Since we’ve implemented so many important changes to ensure the health and safety of our patients and our team, clear communication is more vital than ever. Our new morning meetings are serving as a touchpoint for ensuring these processes are being properly implemented and followed.
A team that embraces change, evolves together.
