Hello there
I work for Kirklees Council in West Yorkshire and I've recently completed a 2 year project to produce Good Admin Practice guides for use by all our staff. One of these was snappily titled "Managing Diaries and Arranging Meetings".
If anyone wants a copy of it, please email me at
lindsay.foody@kirklees.gov.uk.
It is, as you'd guess, very specific to the Kirklees (so the tips for using the email system relate specifically to GroupWise) but the principles are the same for anyone.
It covers all the essentials for preparing for meetings, such as dates, times, duration, resources required, attendee lists, budgets and gives advice on confirming arrangements, choosing layouts, signposting meetings, etc.
