Whether you love them or hate them, for most internal communicators, employee town halls are an expected part of the job. In this month’s podcast, we share our town hall war stories (the good and the bad) and what energizes us most as we prepare for these leader-employee dialogues. We suggest practical tips that will assist in preparing and planning for your town hall, executing day of, and following up to ensure lessons are learned.  We cap off our conversation with ideas on how to enliven your town hall and ensure employees are heard and acknowledged.
