Leapsome, the intelligent people platform for employee and manager enablement, has officially announced the launch of a new meetings module, which is designed to help managers in realizing greater alignment and productivity throughout their workforce. According to certain reports, the stated meetings module comes decked up with an ability to run any type of meeting, right from 1:1s to team meetings, and even an all-hands involving the entire base. Talk about the product on a slightly deeper level, it delivers at your disposal a collaborative agenda functionality that, like the name might suggest, enables teams to jointly create agendas before the meeting starts. Given this promise to generate clarity right at the beginning, each meeting should have a better chance of fulfilling its objective, and that too in a shorter amount of time. To enhance the picture further, Leapsome’s collaborative agenda feature also supplies pre-built templates that ensure best-practice meeting management. Another detail worth a mention here would be how the new meetings module allows unlimited attendees. Such a capability instantly eliminates any quantitative limitation which you might experience with other solutions, as both internal colleagues and external participants (such as freelancers or project partners from other companies) can participate. Then, there is prospect of availing actionable output from every meeting. This means users can capture tasks owners directly in the meeting to ensure transparency and accountability for effective follow-up.
“People-first organizations must empower managers with the leadership skills, tools, and insights required to be productive, build good habits, and offset overwhelm. In 2024, many organizations expect managers to do more with less, but if managers are ineffective – and if meetings are disorganized or unproductive – companies are depriving people of the ability to meet their full potential,” said Jenny von Podewils, co-CEO and co-founder of Leapsome. “Leapsome Meetings was designed to solve this problem, making effective meeting management a seamless experience.”
The development in question provides a rather interesting follow-up to Leapsome’s recently-published Workforce Trends Report, where the company surveyed over 2,500 global professionals. Going by the available details, the included professionals expressed that literally half of their meetings are a waste of time, and one-third have no agenda. Turning this discovery even more critical is a separate set of findings, reinforced across multiple studies, which revealed that people spend more time in meetings today than in years past.
But what makes Leapsome an ideal candidate to take on this problem? Well, the answer resides in its ability to drive employee development, productivity, and engagement using a single people enablement platform. At present, the company combines tools for goals & OKRs management, performance reviews and 360s, development frameworks, employee learning & onboarding, employee engagement surveys, feedback & praise, compensation & promotions, and of course, meetings etc. Leapsome’s excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider it serves the likes of Spotify, monday.com, northvolt, Babbel, Unity, Bolt, and many other leaders of their respective industries. In case that didn’t sound impressive enough, then we must acknowledge that after facilitating the movement of 1.2 million feedback pieces, the company boasts a 99 percent customer satisfaction rating.
