Meeting Governance That Actually Sticks
Every organization has meeting policies. Almost none enforce them. Tolly's governance engine turns guidelines into guardrails — with hard blocks, approval workflows, and compliance reporting that make meeting policy real.
The enforcement gap
What most companies do
- Send a Slack message asking people to have fewer meetings
- Declare "No Meeting Wednesdays" with no enforcement mechanism
- Add meeting guidelines to the employee handbook nobody reads
- Hope that culture alone will change calendar behavior
What Tolly does
- Blocks meeting creation on designated meeting-free days
- Routes oversized meetings through approval workflows
- Flags policy violations in real time with manager notifications
- Generates compliance reports that prove policy is working
Six policy types. Real enforcement.
Configure the policies that matter to your organization. Each one comes with enforcement, not just monitoring.
Meeting-Free Days
Block entire days from meetings across the organization. Not a suggestion — a hard block in the calendar system that prevents scheduling.
Example: No meetings on Wednesdays, company-wide
Attendee Caps
Set maximum attendee limits by meeting type. Meetings that exceed the threshold require approval from a designated approver.
Example: Status updates capped at 5 attendees
Duration Limits
Default meeting durations to 25 or 50 minutes instead of 30/60. Enforce maximum duration limits that require justification to override.
Example: All meetings default to 25 minutes
Approval Workflows
Require VP or executive sign-off for meetings above cost thresholds. Large, expensive meetings get reviewed before they happen.
Example: Meetings costing >$2,000 need VP approval
Recurring Meeting Audits
Automatically flag recurring meetings that haven't been reviewed in 90 days. Require organizers to justify continuation or cancel.
Example: Auto-review all recurring meetings quarterly
Agenda Requirements
Require an agenda before a meeting can be scheduled. No agenda, no meeting — enforced at the calendar level.
Example: Meetings without agendas are blocked
Compliance reporting that proves it's working
Track policy adherence by team, department, and individual. See who's following the rules, who isn't, and how compliance trends over time.
