Meeting rounds

Meeting rounds in Huma let you set up and distribute the same meeting template to multiple employees at once. This streamlines the process for recurring or organization-wide meetings, ensuring consistency and saving time for HR teams. The feature is designed to make follow-up and documentation easier across multiple participants.

 

The basics

  • To host a meeting round you will need a system role with "full access over meetings"
  • Everyone can be an attendee of a meeting.
  • A meeting can have one or multiple attendees, but only one host.
  • Only attendees and host have access to the content of the meeting.
    • "Regarding" - is the meeting about a specific person?
      If the employee marked as "regarding" is not also listed as an "attendee," they will not have access to the meeting. 
    • When a meeting is tagged with "Regarding," it will also be visible on the profile card of the designated employee under "Meetings."If the meeting is about someone specific, e.g performance reviews or 1-on-1s, the meeting can be tagged with that person, using the field "Regarding". 
  • Do you wish to create a 1-1 meeting?  Check out 1-on-1s here.
