Engaging employees during online team meetings with Slidocustomer story

Now we have facts, thanks to Slido.”Brian Davenport, VP of Service, A1 Garage Door Service A1 Garage Door Services is a growing business with 200 employees across ten U.S. states. To keep their field workers aligned and updated, they run weekly live-streamed team meetings. Some people join from 15 different offices, others are completely remote. But hosting virtual meetings comes with its challenges. “In the past, nobody would speak during the calls, and after each meeting, we got questions about things we had already explained. It seemed like people were not listening”, shares Brian Davenport, VP of Service. Brian wanted to find a way to resolve this and get people more involved during the calls. “We wanted to increase our employee engagement across the country in all of the live-streamed meetings.

Increasing employee engagement during leadership meetingscustomer story

“With Slido, we went from 5-6 employee questions received during our leadership meetings to over 100.”Jessica Kosmack, Senior Communications Specialist, Toronto Transit Commission The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is the third largest public transportation agency in North America. During their regular leadership meetings, all 1,600 leaders gather to share updates, discuss the latest issues and align with the organizational strategy. Traditionally, TTC did not see a high engagement during the meetings. “The meeting participants had the opportunity to ask questions but most were reluctant or perhaps not interested in putting their hands up”, explained Jessica Kosmack, Senior Communications Specialist at the TTC. To address this, the TTC leveraged Slido to get more employees to participate actively. As a result, they increased the number of questions from only a handful to over 100 and brought people’s real concerns to light. Get inspired by the TTC story. Battling low engagement durin
