Corporate Town Hall

Enabling dialogue and connections while aligning understandings

A corporate Town Hall is an event that is planned periodically throughout the year to share information, open dialogue between organization leaders and employees, and initiate and foster connections among people from various parts of the organization. The organization’s culture, values, vision, and goals can be reinforced through this event.

Use this event to:

• Align the organization to the same strategy or goals.
• Close the gap between organizational leaders and employees.
• Build and maintain the organization’s culture.

Examples

• A permanent committee or organizational working group yearly or semestral meeting to share results, future projects, timeline or common goals.
• A company’s end-of-year town hall to discuss accomplishments from the past year and the roadmap for the future.
