How to run town hall meetings that truly connect

Town halls are more than routine updates, they’re a chance to inspire, connect, and build trust across the workplace. But without the right approach, they risk becoming passive and forgettable. Here’s how to make them meaningful:

  • Start with purpose: Define what you want your employees to take away from the town hall. Clarity drives focus and relevance.

  • Make it interactive: Add live Q&As, polls, or small discussions to keep people involved.

  • Share stories, not just numbers: Stories humanize leadership and make messages stick.

  • Celebrate milestones and people: Recognition boosts morale and builds a culture of appreciation.

  • Ensure accessibility: Use digital platforms so everyone, wherever they are, can join live or catch up later.

  • Keep it concise: Shorter, focused sessions hold attention better than long ones.

  • Add variety: Rotate speakers, use visuals or videos, and bring in new perspectives.

  • Foster psychological safety: Encourage openness and handle tough questions with honesty.

When they're done well, town halls move beyond updates. They become a unifying force that connects employees to leadership and each other.
