Meetings in progress 

Other recording issues

The decisions made in meetings can have an impact both within and outside the organisation. Decisions on new products or services can affect the range available to customers as well as influencing economic growth, prices and employment. Changes to personnel policies can have widespread effects on the organisation and can influence industrial relations in the broader community.

What needs to be recorded?

• who was there
• what has been decided
• what action is needed
• who is going to take that action
• when the action is going to be taken (deadline)
• any other motions that the Chair wants recorded.

What does not need to be recorded?

• petty arguments
• personal attacks
• any discussion 'off the record' (unless the Chair approves).

Timelines for recording and reporting to management will normally be negotiated in advance, but should be as timely as possible.
