Recess

A recess is a temporary interruption or pause in the proceedings of a meeting. It provides participants with a brief opportunity to take a break, stretch, refresh, and recharge before resuming the meeting’s activities. Recesses are essential for maintaining participant engagement and focus during long or intensive meetings. They allow attendees to clear their minds, attend to personal needs, and return to the meeting with renewed energy and concentration. The duration and frequency of recesses may vary depending on the meeting’s agenda and participants’ needs.
