Yes, it does
Town hall meetings, also referred to as town halls or town hall forums, an expression that originates mainly from North America, are a way for local and national politicians to meet with their constituents either to hear from them on topics of interest or to discuss specific upcoming legislation or regulation.

Much like a regular town hall or company-wide meeting, a virtual town hall is an online meeting where company leadership openly discuss various business-related topics with all employees. These meetings play an important role in creating alignment and building trust amongst remote employees, renewing their sense of belonging to the company.
