With your knowledge of conducting effective meetings a) generate an appropriate agenda for this meeting, explain why you chose this layout for topics, and describe how you would use your “Closing and Follow up” notes

Answer 1

The agenda for the meeting is to implement changes at HEB for improving employee and customer health and safety , while ensuring employee morale is high.

The new soap dispensers are required to be purchased in order to combat the pandemic COVID-19. This must be followed by training to employees on maintaining health and hygiene and protect against the deadly virus. Secondly, the changing benefits and pay structures must be such that the organization can withstand the recession or economical crises caused due to the COVID-19. Purchasing of new carts will enable you to mange more number of customers. At the same time sufficient time can be allotted towards sanitization of the carts after use. Celebrating employee birthdays will boost their morale and motivate them intrinsically.

For successfully closing the meeting, you must close it with positive note of how your company will emerge victorious after combating the COVID-19.

There must be a Follow-up plan through which you will monitor the progress of the changes against the scheduled deadlines.
