GREAT FOR
Standing meetings involve conducting group discussions while participants remain standing rather than sitting. Research has shown that standing meetings can increase creativity, improve engagement, and lead to more efficient discussions. The physical act of standing increases blood flow and energy levels, which can enhance cognitive function and alertness. Standing meetings tend to be shorter and more focused than seated meetings, as people naturally want to conclude the discussion when standing for extended periods. This practice can help combat the negative health effects of prolonged sitting, increase physical activity throughout the day, and create a more dynamic and engaging meeting environment. Standing meetings have been shown to increase creativity by up to 20% compared to seated meetings, likely due to the increased physical and mental energy of participants.
