To Birgitte,the HR department would set a meeting room for the staff to meet clients to avoid disturbing other workers in the company.

To Juliana,The most important thing in the face of deadline is timely communication, effective communication.The HR department could help account executives to discuss appropriate deadline with seniors according to the priority of work.
