Let's face it, keeping everyone engaged during a live session, like those Employee Town Hall Q&A sessions on Google Meet, can be tough. But when your audience is genuinely engaged, the session becomes impactful, productive, and frankly, a lot more fun for everyone. Engaging your participants can increase attendance, get more eyes and minds focused on the topic, and make sure that the info you share sticks with them long after you've all logged off.
Make Everyone Feel Seen with Magic Maps
Kick off your Town Hall by asking attendees to drop their locations in the chat. Use StreamAlive’s Magic Maps to plot these in real-time, creating a fun and visual geography lesson for everyone involved. Imagine seeing a live map lighting up with digital pins from all over, sparking conversation and excitement. You could start with something simple like, 'Where are you joining us from today?' or 'Share a dream destination you’d love to visit someday.' This gives people a chance to connect over common locations and breaks the ice right at the beginning of your session.
Dive Deeper with Open-Ended Opinion Polls
If you’re keen on digging a little deeper into the minds of your employees, use Open-Ended Opinion Polls. They’re perfect for questions that allow for more detailed feedback, such as 'What change would you most like to see in our work environment?' This format allows for free-text entry and provides rich data for you while making employees feel like their opinions truly count. It’s a space for them to voice their thoughts with a bit more depth than a simple yes-no.
Capture Real-Time Insights with Power Polls
Want to capture real-time insights on employee opinions? Fire up a Power Poll. It could be as straightforward as gauging what time slot works best for future town halls or getting input on company policies. Power Polls can turn one-dimensional feedback into a dynamic duo, reflecting real-time results and keeping everyone informed of their colleagues' thoughts instantly. It’s easy to set up with a quick question in the chat like, 'What’s our next focus area?', and get fast, actionable insights.
Encourage Participation with the Winner Wheel
As the session rolls on, keep the energy high by randomly rewarding engagement. Use the Winner Wheel to pick out random winners from those participating in the chat. Perhaps anyone who asks a question gets entered for a chance to win a small prize. Or, add a fun twist like awarding the 'most enthusiastic emoji commenter.' It’s a fun incentive that can get folks typing and joining in. Keep everyone waiting to see who’s next, which boosts excitement and participation on a personal level.
Create Buzz with Wonder Words
Use Wonder Words to visualize your audience's thoughts in real-time. Ask them to share a single word that’s on their mind about a recent project or initiative. This could be during an energizing part of your meeting or as a reflective moment. As those words populate and shift in size with frequency, you’ll get an instant snapshot of the overall sentiment. Wonder Words helps keep interactions lively and lets everyone see what’s on the minds of those around them, making your Town Hall not just another meeting but a shared experience.
