About Town Hall Moderation

Company-wide discussions are great for getting everyone together to share strategy decisions, big milestone wins, important business updates, and progress toward major goals.

These meetings are also an opportunity for employees to engage in transparent discussions about what's important to them, which in turn allows leaders to get a bearing on the concerns of their workforce. When done well, town hall meetings help to create a sense of community—building more trust and confidence throughout the organisation.

However, internal meetings and presentations can often become very one-dimensional, not allowing for employees to have a chance to voice out or share their thoughts. When employees don’t feel needed or connected to their organisation, they are more likely to become highly disengaged at work, affecting their focus and productivity.

The moderator of a town hall plays critical role in setting the tone and guiding the meeting in the right direction. They must be able to create a safe space for employees to share their ideas, questions and to give honest feedback without inhibition. Additionally, the moderator is responsible for keeping the town hall on track and on time, transitioning between speakers, as well as closing out the meeting.

With Epipeople Management & Consultancy handling the moderation, everybody on your team can get involved in a smooth and focused discussion.
