Town Hall Meeting

What is the purpose of a town hall meeting?

Town hall meetings have three primary purposes:

• Align the company to the same goals

• Close the gap between management and employees

• Build corporate culture

All-hands versus town hall

While people often use the two terms interchangeably, a town hall meeting is more of a question-and-answer-based affair. In contrast, all-hands meetings are generally more focused on conveying a message and making a key presentation.

What do you discuss in a town hall meeting

Town hall meetings usually follow a strict plan that looks something like this:

• Opening address.

• State of the Company presentation.

• Address results of a poll sent before the meeting.

• Features/initiatives in focus.

• Q&A.

• Ending points.

• Survey.

• Minutes shared and post-mortem.

Can you hold a town hall meeting on Zoom?

Zoom and video calls are becoming the norm thanks to the increase in remote working. Using these platforms for town hall meetings has been commonplace for a while now. Sometimes it’s simply not possible for everyone to be in the same place at once, so hosting a virtual town hall offers a way to involve everyone without the need to travel.
