Workplace Groups
From collaborating on projects across your organisation to growing your company culture, everything on Workplace starts with a group.
Make announcements and start conversations in a secure, shared space
Use Workplace Groups to communicate with specific teams, regions or your whole company. And because you can create lots of different types of posts when you're posting into a group, they're a super-flexible feature for all kinds of company comms.
Important Posts
Pin important updates to the top of your News Feed and send an email notification to make sure that people see it.
Q&A posts
Q&A posts let people ask questions and upvote their favourite posts, so you can see and respond to whatever is top of mind.
Scheduled posts
Drafted an update for a global team? Make sure that it gets noticed by scheduling it to go live at a suitable time.
Action items
Use "action items" to make meetings more productive by assigning tasks or confirming next steps.

Achievement posts
Recognise a job well done by using achievement posts to highlight great work or celebrate a project milestone.
