department meetings

Team discussion sessions

Department meetings are regular gatherings of employees within a workplace division, typically to share information, discuss projects, or coordinate activities.

The phrase often carries a weary connotation—department meetings are notorious for running long, covering material that could have been an email, and pulling people from actual work: I'm stuck in department meetings all afternoon.
