English term

town hall

English to French Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) Social medias
A Town Hall allows you to connect executives and employees in a virtual company meeting where management can communicate corporate goals and employees can voice their opinions and ask questions. Your executive team gets increased visibility and employees have the opportunity to engage in real-time conversations with management. Although each Town Hall occurs at a specific time, the host and the attendees can interact in advance, allowing everyone the chance to mull over topics, resulting in a more interesting and thought-provoking exchange of ideas.

Discussion

Jean Dimitriadis May 22, 2017:
@Ana It was a close call, and on hindsight, it would have been indeed better to simply add a comment to your suggestion.
I'll try to use better discretion next time! Thank you :-)
Ana Vozone May 22, 2017:
@Jean It is fine. If it were me, I would have simply added something to my colleague's suggestion to make it more complete, but do not worry. I just felt I had the right to show my surprise ;)

Clarification Hello Ana,

I understand you are addressing this comment to the Asker, but since I am involved, I would like to clarify that after doing my own research I decided to add a separate suggestion because (after pausing to consider this) it was not clear to me that this was what you were suggesting.

I’d hate to be seen as someone who is merely replicating a suggestion as you state in your comment, which was not my intention nor point of view when submitting my entry.

Along with my apologies to you, I’d like to offer that Jean-Christophe amends (if possible) the awarded answer, should he share this opinion.
Ana Vozone May 22, 2017:
@Asker I find it a bit strange that I suggested a term which you accepted and used (assemblée virtuelle) to which I added "interne" since it was beteeen executives and employees, and in spite of that, you decided to award the points to someone who merely replicated my suggestion 12 hours later...

Selected

assemblée virtuelle

J'aurais ajouté éventuellement « Town Hall » entre parenthèses lors de la première occurrence.

« Une assemblée virtuelle (Town Hall)... »
Something went wrong...
