Jasmin Wölke moderates townhalls, annual kick-offs and employee events in Basel, in English and in standard German. The event moderator is based in Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart and reaches Basel in about three hours.
Lab, production, administration: one date
An employee event in Basel often brings three working worlds into the same room. Research thinks in projects and speaks English in its daily work. Production runs in shifts, at sites that cannot simply stand still. Administration sits in the office and knows the numbers. When leadership invites to the kick-off or the townhall, that is the one shared date for all three, and the programme has to earn it. Jasmin builds the programme with communications and leadership so that messages stay short and the Q&A gets real room. In a regulated industry, where not every figure may be said from the stage, it matters what can be said, and that it is said clearly.
Bilingual, because the workforce is
Basel workforces are trinational: many employees commute in daily from Baden and Alsace, and in research and development English is the working language. A townhall therefore rarely runs in a single language. Jasmin fixes the language plan in the briefing, for example welcome and core messages in German, expert segments and Q&A in English, and steers the switch so nobody loses the thread. How that works in practice is explained in the article on bilingual moderation. The craft comes from more than ten years at Bosch, SAP and Volkswagen. At the Digital Transformation Conference, a corporate reference with over 600 participants and 20 speakers, she tied a dense programme into one red thread.
Rooms and reach
Many Basel companies have their own auditoriums on the plant or campus grounds; those who go out find rooms for every size at the Volkshaus, the Markthalle or the Congress Center Basel. For shift operations Jasmin plans a second run or a stream on request, so the opposite shift and other sites experience the programme too. She sets the technical check firmly before the date and arrives the day before for morning formats. The format is described in the event moderation hub; all assignments in the city are bundled on the Basel city page.
