Consistency and structure are the foundation of high-performing remote teams. At Smart Workforce Solutions, we’ve found that Start of Week (SOW) and End of Week (EOW) meetings revolutionise efficiency, communication, and accountability. These structured check-ins keep teams aligned, engaged, and motivated to deliver their best work.
How We Structure SOW & EOW Meetings
Start of Week (SOW) – Monday:
Org Chart Review – Reinforces team roles, welcomes new hires, and clarifies responsibilities.
Core Values in Action – A team member shares insights on one of our 14 core values, strengthening company culture.
Individual Reports – Quick, 20-second updates covering:
A personal/professional highlight
3 key tasks (big rocks) for the week
Deadlines & any support needed
CEO Key Messages – Leadership updates to set priorities for the week ahead.
End of Week (EOW) – Friday:
Org Chart Review – Recaps roles and contributions for team alignment.
Individual Reports & Shout Outs – Team members reflect on their progress, celebrate wins, and recognise outstanding contributions.
CEO Key Takeaways – Final insights to wrap up the week and set the stage for the next.
Why SOW & EOW Meetings Work:
Alignment – Everyone knows their priorities and how they contribute to team goals.
