Dutch term
werkoverleg / werkbespreking
Dutch to English
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
"Bv. in een werkoverleg heeft elke medewerker de keuze: om zijn creatieve ideeën aanbrengen of ze voor zichzelf te houden… het feit dat hij die keuze heeft, geeft hem een bepaalde vorm van macht."
I though of "working meeting" but that's somehow not totally right.
Van Dale says: werkoverleg => werkbespreking = discussion of progress. But that's also not it, because this is a type of meeting.
Any suggestions?
TIA

Comment: "Thanks for all the input.
I like this one best, because it is most generla. leaving open whether it is a team, a department, or whatever. And a staff meeting usually discusses progress of some type or toher.
Thanks David for the suggestion."

morning meeting
I'd use this, although the CWI *does* have an interesting explanation not much different from the one offered by Van Dale apparently.

team meeting
Yet another option, which may be more or less appropriate depending on the exact circumstances...
-> "Team meetings You are likely to be in charge of regular team meetings that deal with 'business' of all kinds. You are likely to influence the professional approach, values and skills development of your team in these meetings: you can not avoid setting a professional and management example. How you manage the team meeting will influence the group's effectiveness, collective effort and sense of purpose. The way you lead the team meeting will have an impact whatever the purpose of the meeting."

-> "I confess to being a very strong advocate of regular team meetings. And I mean ‘team’ meetings. Not your ordinary run of the mill garden variety staff meetings, but meetings where the underpinning purpose is to build a great business team."
