    Every leader is expected to hold a town hall with their unit, including all employees (staff and faculty). In this town hall, leaders can utilize the PowerPoint presentation and reports provided by Modern Think to show the results of their respective unit’s responses. This town hall is a great chance to have further activities, discussions and suggestions on how to act on this feedback. Please make sure an email is sent to all employees in your unit as a follow-up containing the results for those that could not attend.
