Engaging employees: Virtual townhalls
In a year when videoconferencing became essential for both personal and business interactions, we tapped into a virtual townhall solution - to share information and offer employees a new format for providing feedback to management. These virtual meetings facilitate the flow of information and the inclusion of colleagues. Employees surveyed said they felt more engaged by videoconferencing than email or paper communications and were pleased to have open twoway communication with management.
