The meeting was attended by ten employees. Rephrase, please.

Could you help me rephrase the sentence in the title. Supposing I need to write a description of the meeting.

There was a staff meeting on 22 December. The meeting was attended by ten employees and the manager. First, they discussed...., then they worked out a schedule .....etc.

What are other ways to say the phrase in bold so that it would fit this context properly?

Hello.

Not a teacher nor a native speaker.

I think you can use the active voice instead of passive.
Sure, there are several ways to improve it, but I'm afraid to be wrong.

Yes, of course, the active voice can be used, too. I can easily make a separate sentence with it. But I need the native speakers' opinion if it's possible to say the same, but using some other words so that it wouldn't sound unnatural in the given context.

Concentrate on the vowels in your spelling. You put "meeteng" instead of meeting and "duscussed" instead of "discussed".

Thank you.

Sorry, it was not me, it was my keyboard.)
