Skip Level Meetings provide a way for employers and employees to interact and get to to know each other.
Beyond this, skip level meetings can be very helpful when moving into a leadership, especially in a new company. Conducting Skip Level Meetings will allow you to speak with the people who are in the thick of it, and know what works best in their work environment.
After hearing what they have to say you can make judgment calls on what to change and what to keep the same; then you can discuss these things with their supervisors so that they can be implemented.
Some further benefits of regular, skip-level meetings include:
=> Increased transparency in your business
=> A more open environment for sharing ideas, which facilitates innovation
=> A universal understanding of your company vision and priorities
=> Increased employee engagement, as everyone feels valued and included by executives
