One of the main duties of executives is communication to employees, to make sure that everyone is swimming in the same direction. For a small firm, Friday afternoon beer bashes work. For a mid-sized firm, those usually slip to monthly events and the beer quality drops..
For a large firm getting everyone into the same room for a meeting isn't possible any more - either because they're remote (especially so these days) or there just isn't a room large enough. So something like a podcast or a Teams meeting becomes the best way to communicate with everyone.
- Aeolun 6y agoMy company can still get it’s entire HQ into one room by renting the ballroom of a large hotel. The beer is average, and it happens only twice a year, but the worst part is that the executives are talking mostly air. I think they’re good people, but I can’t say I’m interested in what they’re showing me. Last time they were talking about remodelling the office to be more ‘open’, and I asked if anyone had given any consideration to how easy it would be to focus there? Nobody had.
