Regular meetings with direct reports and/or teams boost goal attainment, improve employee engagement, and enhance collaboration.
With meetings in Perdoo, we make it easy for managers and their direct reports to collaborate on talking points, keep track of action items, and exchange feedback. In other words, we'll help you have useful and engaging conversations. We also support multiple participants, so it's a great tool to utilize for your team and/or leadership meetings.

If you've already been working with the 1:1s feature in Perdoo, you can migrate them over to Meetings.
Click on the Meetings icon in the left navigation bar.
Click on the 3 dot menu > Migrate from 1:1s.
Select the 1:1s you want to migrate to Meetings.

Pick from your existing meetings.
*Please note: We're currently awaiting verification of the app from Google.
Perdoo will make suggestions for meetings that have at least two Perdoo users participating on the calendar event. It will also populate a list of all of your upcoming meetings in your Google or Outlook calendar where you can see if there is already an existing Meeting synched with Perdoo as well as how many participants are Perdoo users. Click Sync and it will connect.
IMPORTANT:
Only the Meeting organizer in Perdoo can integrate the meeting.
The integration runs 1x a day at midnight CET, so any changes you make in your calendar will be updated after the sync runs. The Meeeting organizer can also manually sync on demand if you want the change to be reflected immediately. Currently the integration runs one-way from your calendar into Perdoo.
The name of the meeting needs to exactly match the name of your calendar event in order for the integration to sync.
You can add an integration after a Meeting has already been created. The Meeting name in Perdoo needs to exactly match the meeting name in your calendar.
