Question 3: Which style of meeting would you use if you needed input and opinions from your staff?
Face-to-face communications, because it can be either formal or informal, one-on-one or in groups. Face-to-face communication allows more easily for gauging others’ reactions to what you are communicating, which allows you to ensure they are hearing what you intend them to hear and understand what you are saying.

The minutes should be prepared from notes directly after the meeting should be shown to the chairperson for approval. Depending on the type and purpose of the meeting, the minutes may have to be shown to a higher authority for approval as well.
Delaying writing up the minutes means that the exact meaning of shorthand notes could be lost and the effectiveness of the meeting along with it.
Question 19: What should participants do during and after meetings?
During the meeting the participant should have been taking notes, particularly in regards to outcomes and decisions involving the participant or the participant’s department.
After the meeting the participant can then decide how best to handle the task and who should handle the individual aspects of the tasks.
Question 20: When does whispering usually occur?
In meetings of over 10 people the opportunity for side conversations arises. If brief they can be useful, but if they are persistent and unrelated they will prove disruptive. If someone continually speaks to their neighbour, the chairperson should ask them if they have anything to add to the conversation. Alternatively, delay the person currently speaking until the whisperer realises everyone is waiting for them and gets embarrassed. If they know they have been spotted then they will stop.
Question 21: What are the characteristics of a ‘Digresser’?
Digressers often like to talk specifically about a particular subject that worries them, often unrelated to the topic at hand .

5 minutes
Part B Case Study / Project
Part A Plan and prepare for a management meeting
Background Information
You are the HR manager of a 300 bed hotel in the CBD. It is your job to organise the next management meeting which you will need to conduct in 10 days. The meeting is attended by the Executive chef, Maître’D, Function Manager, Chief Concierge and the Exec. Housekeeper.
The following issues have arisen and the GM has asked you to deal with these during the next meeting and ensure all of these will be addressed satisfactorily:
1. Several wait staff from different ethnic backgrounds have complained that they are referred to as “camel drivers” and “Mountain Shepherds” on several occasions by 3 of the chefs during service.
2. The GM was told by GMs from other hotels that a number of suppliers increasingly were offering cash incentives to department heads in return for choosing their products. Although there is no apparent indication for this in the organisation at present, the GM would like to see the ethical standards expected from staff re-enforced.
3. During the past month there have been several light accidents in the housekeeping and front office areas which included slips and falls due to cluttered floor space in the back office area and the storage areas for linen and chemicals. As a result the WHS code of practice needs to be re-visited and the duties of department heads as well as procedures established.
4. During the past month 2 guests have expressed concerns about privacy and security procedures in place at the hotel: in one instance a call from an outsider was received enquiring about the stay of his “wife” and her room number and as result these details were provided by reception [the caller was the ex-husband and was subject to a restraining order]; in the 2nd instance 2 young females had returned to the hotel from a night out and were followed by a strange guy who followed them into the lobby. Once they had entered the lift he approached reception and claimed he was the brother of one of the ladies and was readily provided with the room number upon which he accessed the floor and attempted to gain entry to the complainants’ room. The police was called.
Your Task
1. Develop an agenda addressing that covers all aspects of the meeting purpose.
2. Source the relevant legislation that covers the aspects of the issues outlined above which need to be addressed during the meeting.
3. Prepare the information for a presentation to the meeting participants to enable informed discussion at the meeting. This will be used in Part B, “Conducting the Meeting”.
4. Schedule the meeting and write a notification of the meeting for the designated participants and provide a timeline by when participants will be notified.
5. Prepare all correspondence to send to the participants before the meeting.
6. Arrange in advance for one of the meeting participants to accurately record the minutes of the meeting.
7. Obtain 2 different quotes ($ 20.00 per person maximum) for a light lunch with a vegetarian option for the meeting and attach the details to this assessment.

1. Use the prepared agenda for the meeting.

9. Present information and ideas clearly and concisely

Part C Follow up meeting outcomes
Write an analysis of the meeting and include:
1. Provide a short self-evaluation for the meeting you have conducted. Often we undertake a task and we realise, once we have finished that some aspects worked well, or not so good or just did not feel right. Provide a self-valuation for your meeting: Give an account of how you would conduct yourself differently as the chair of any future meetings. Describe both the mistakes and the positive contributions that you made during the meeting and analyse how they impacted on the dynamics and progress of the meeting.
2. Complete the final version of the minutes taken during the meeting, confirm the details are correct and sign the document. Attach a copy to this assessment task
3. Include if appropriate a work schedule with tasks prioritised and actioned of any necessary issues arising from the meeting and outline the requirements for each participant. Attach a copy to this assessment task
