100 Songs to Kick Off Your Next All-Hands Meeting

Music sets the mood –– the vibe –– and can help make an event memorable. It communicates a feeling that anyone, regardless of language or culture, can pick up on.

When you kick off a meeting with a song, you immediately indicate to attendees what they’re in for. Plus, music can help underscore an atmosphere of inclusivity and fun.

One of the most high-profile and wide-reaching meetings held at work tends to be the company all-hands. Whether it happens quarterly, monthly, or weekly, it’s a time to come together, hear from executives, learn what fellow employees are working on, and rally around business goals and values.

Finding the right song can be challenging, especially for a distributed, global audience. But our team has done the heavy lifting for you.

So, we’re going public with our playlist. Scan this list of 100 songs that have kicked off our all-hands meetings in the past, and choose one that works for your next all-hands. Then, keep scrolling to get the links to our full 2021 and 2022 (to date) “Heard It At All-Hands” Spotify playlists.
