How to Run Town Hall Q&A That Surfaces Real Employee Questions

Step 1: Open Q&A Early

Allow submissions before the session starts so shy employees contribute without time pressure.

Step 2: Enable Anonymous Mode

Anonymity dramatically increases honest questions about policy, compensation, and culture.

Step 3: Moderate with a Dedicated Owner

Assign one person to filter duplicates and off-topic submissions before they go live.

Step 4: Answer by Upvote Rank

Executives address the top-voted questions first — the crowd validates what matters most.
