(1, Premise) As disclosed by Hacklin and Wallnofer (2012), the need for decision

making in any business serves the purpose of managing the activities of the business or the

organization by providing a component that is indispensable and continuous throughout the

operation of the business. (1, Conclusion) Decisions making helps both the employees and the

management to realize most of the goals that an organization is supposed to accomplish during

its existence, which is in line with the activities performed by the company. (2, Premise) A

decision in the business context is a course of action chosen from a set of various critical

organizational activities that help the business and the management to realize their overall

objectives or goals. Another importance of decision making in business is its advocacy for best

practices in business management that help the organization achieve its mandate. Having

identified the importance of business decisions, the paper will explore the merits and demerits of

the decision to hold regular all-employee meetings in business. (3, Premise) The decision to

have frequent all-employee meetings is among the best practices that are arrived at by the

management to help the business realize its goals and objectives.

(2, Conclusion) A business decision is either advantageous to the business or presents

ineffectiveness in the business operations. (4, Premise) Vom Brocke et al. (2014) point out that

decisions made by management are evaluated on whether they are good or bad for the business.

Additionally, Vom Bocke et al. (2014) note that a right decision sustains the activities of all

business activities and organizational functioning, while a lousy choice hinders the realization of

the same. (3, Conclusion) Therefore, the decision to hold regular all-employee meetings serves

to benefit business by providing a consistent forum to realign goals, objectives and give

perspective to some of the business practices involved. (4, Conclusion)The decision by any

business to have all-employee meetings often can be termed as a right decision since it enables

the business to work towards achieving its goals and realizing its objectives continuously.

Furthermore, holding regular meetings has supplementary returns to the business that is central

to creating a healthy organization for its employees, customers, and management.

Another critical need for having all-employee meetings is to provide the company with

the necessary tactical and strategic plans that are used in realizing its goals. (5, Premise) Tactical

and strategic objectives in business require a comprehensive understanding of both the

management and the employees to aid in the accomplishment of goals of a business. Without the

necessary tactics and strategies to realize the set objectives for a company, the managerial and

organizational goals become difficult to accomplish (Buller & McEvoy, 2012). Moreover, the

lack of understanding of the fundamentals of the tactics and strategies to realizing purposes by

some of the management and employees further creates difficulty in accomplishing tasks and

goals. (5, Conclusion) Hence, the need for regular all-employee meetings in an organization that

aid in communicating the tactics and strategies that the business should employ as well as

training and be providing the blueprint necessary for applying the desired tactical and strategic

approaches. Not only will the business attain its goals and objectives but also will improve the

efforts put out by employees, by having a well thought out and understood the tactical and

strategic plan.

(6, Premise) In addition to planning, the management can use all-employee meetings to

review the signs of progress being made by the business against the goals of the business to

assess the tactical agenda the business needs to execute. Kurien and Qureshi (20212) highlight

that most of the organizational goals are measurable based on various metrics and help in the

determination of the progress made towards realizing those goals and objectives of the business.

The accomplishment of goals for a company is the following task that takes time, effort and
ALL-EMPLOYEE MEETINGS 4

resources to be successful. However, the lack of follow-ups and lack of gauging the strides that

are made by employees and management towards realizing goals of the business provides

uncertainty and creates room for failure. (6, Conclusion) To address these challenges, all-

employee meetings offer the best platform to keep the employees and management on toes in

their efforts to achieve the set objectives of the business and accessing both the progress and

tactical agendas for the benefit of the business.

(7, Premise) Nevertheless, all-employee meetings also have an impact on the resolution

of both minor and major issues that often arise while working towards particular goals and

objectives of the business. (7, Conclusion) By having all-employee meetings, the management

can allocate sufficient time to debate, and discuss the issues that arise in the business. All-

employee meetings foster the clarification and resolution of challenges that often occur in an

organizational set up while working towards their specific goals. (8, Premise) Equally, holding

all-employee meetings provides the employees with a chance to raise their complaints and

address issues that affect them at work to ensure the management with solutions to address their

problems (Holmes & Stubbe, 2015). (8, Conclusion) The grievances of employees need to be

taken seriously by the administration since they perform all the tasks in the organization and

their satisfaction is parallel to their production at the workplace. (9, Premise) Also, the all-

employee meetings provide the management a chance to articulate the issues that they have

regarding the various business practices within the organization that need to commended or those

that need to be criticized. (9, Conclusion) This encourages a healthy working environment to

realize the goals and objectives of the business.

(10, Premise) Lastly, all-employee meetings focus team efforts of the employees, which

help in ensuring that the employees are working together and get off on the right foot in trying to
ALL-EMPLOYEE MEETINGS 5

accomplish the set objectives and goals of the business. (10, Conclusion) Organizing quarterly

meetings that can take place outside the office set up or in open areas, provides the employees

with a chance to interact and build good relations that will help them in working together. To

give the best of both work and pleasure, it is essential for the management to focus the informal

meetings towards reviewing what is taking place within their sector and business. Not only will

these meetings encourage better employee relations but also provide the business with more

focused and satisfied employees who enjoy working for their organization. The result will

produce success in the efforts to realize the organizational objectives and goals for the business.

In closing, all-employee meetings are critical to the operations of a business since these

meetings provide a platform for tactical and strategic planning, reviewing the progress made by

employees, assessing the tactical agenda, allocating time for addressing and resolving issues that

arise in business, and focusing team efforts towards realizing the goals and objectives of the

business. Furthermore, the employee meetings provide the management with a forum to

communicate to the employees as well as a chance for the employees to converse with the

administration. Indeed, it is an excellent decision to have all-employee meetings for any business

since it fosters best practices that ensure the business and its employees work on the same page

and equally benefit. The realization of objectives and accomplishment of goals is made much

more comfortable with the decision to have regular all-employee meetings.
