On the surface meeting equity is about ensuring that all participants, whether in-person or remote, have an equal opportunity to communicate, contribute and collaborate.
By focusing on meeting equity, companies can not only enhance the hybrid work experience but can enable teams to feel heard and empowered, regardless of where they are attending the meeting from.
By encouraging all participants to contribute and ensuring all voices can be heard, you will gain greater diversity of thought, which will lead to a greater breath of ideas and discussion.
Therefore, it is essential to prioritize inclusivity and equity in meetings, so that every voice can be heard, and the collective wisdom of the group can be harnessed effectively.
Meeting equity can lead to a more responsible organization and also help organizations achieve improved business outcomes as well as help to create a more positive company culture.
