👏 Customer Story: Creating a Live Dialogue with Employees at All‑hands Meetings by Suntory

 Some time ago, we talked to Norito Yonezawa, Corporate Strategy Planner at Suntory Beverage & Food Limited, a global leader in producing soft drinks and food products based in Japan and one of our most engaged customers.  ✨ We’d like to highlight Suntory’s story of how Slido helped them transform their company culture and gave voice to their more silent employees.  Like any multinational corporation, it’s vital for Suntory to keep its teams aligned. To connect its 24,000 employees with the executive team, it runs quarterly townhall meetings.Traditionally, in Japanese business culture, people tend to avoid asking questions or participating actively in meetings. Suntory wanted to change that. Its goal was to create a safe space for its employees to open up and start a live discussion during their townhalls. “With Slido, we can see more honest questions that the executives answer from the top of their heads. Hearing what people really think makes the conversation feel more authentic.

Ideal timing for a poll during a presentation

Howdy. I’m using Slido and loving it. The audience seems to like it too. Tomorrow I’m doing a 90 minute presentation, and I’m using polls/surveys to break up my talking. This serves two purposes: 1. Gives a chance for people to engage; 2. Gives me a second to take a sip of water and mentally get ready for the next section. I’m wondering, in all the experience of members  here, what have you found to be the _ideal_ time to give people a chance to answer the poll. I dont think (but am easily corrected) that really the number of people in the session–be it 4 or 56–has much to do with the timing; everyone can read and answer at roughly the same time.So what is the ideal time to allow as many people to answer the poll as we can get while also keeping the momentum of the talk going? I ask because it seems, using Google Slides, the poll on the screen is the only active one, and you can only have one at a time (unless in a survey), so if you move onto the next slide, people lose their chance t

Using Slido for a team's project

Hi Community! Any chance I could use Slido with our team to reach an agreement? I run a team’s project and we spend a lot of time discussing opinions. I was thinking about using a Yes/No poll. Any tips on how I can pull this off?

Using Slido for smaller meetings

Hi all! Do you use Slido in smaller meetings? If so, how? I’m looking for inspiration. Slido works great at our all hands and town hall meetings, but we haven't found that much use for it in a smaller setup yet.

Do you do any followups on the answered questions from the meeting?

What do you do with unanswered questions? In the big meetings, we’ve started getting a lot of questions which we don’t manage to answer in the meeting but we don’t want them to go in vain. Do you have any tips?

How do you deal with rude comments and questions?

Hi Community, I just had one of the toughest allhands ever, we had so many questions, which was great but most of them were so rude. How do you deal with questions like that?
