Creating An Engaging All Hands Meeting
It’s easy to see All Hands Meetings as a necessary evil – something you have to do, but nobody wants to be a part of. It’s a ton of work for your senior staff, there’s a whole host of technical issues to worry about, and if it’s done poorly it can be a boring experience for your employees. But it doesn’t have to be this way!
All Hands Meetings can and should be engaging and fun for your team; not the commentary over slideshows that we are accustomed to experiencing in our work lives. So let’s talk about the importance of an all-hands meeting and how you can spice them up to show all of your team members that you care.
These meetings should be productions that take time and energy to plan. Just calling everyone together and going through slides isn’t engaging and can very quickly show how little effort went into calling the meeting together. The point of the meeting should be to celebrate the work of all your team members and highlight successes. No matter the size of your team, they should all feel appreciated and a planned, professionally produced meeting is the perfect way to do so.

“Treat It Like Its A Real Event Because It Is!”
Putting effort and care into your all-hands meetings may be the difference between an employee feeling loved or feeling unheard. Recently, Kyle hosted a podcast discussing the importance of holding a professional looking and feeling all-hands meeting with Tyler and Phil. They discuss what they’ve done as partners to all-hands meetings as well as their past experiences with companies and how effort placed in all-hands meetings affected them as employees. Take a listen!
“Treat it like an event. If you were putting on an event for an external audience, for your biggest sponsors or your biggest vendors, you would take it seriously, and you would make sure it was presented in a positive light. Don’t skimp on it because it’s your own employees. Treat it like a real event because it is”.
