How to do it in Workplace

Encourage follows

1. Encourage follows

Make sure that employees keep up with discussions by following the executive team and the people they collaborate with most. Following colleagues helps surface their activity in the News Feed.



Share pulse survey results

2. Share pulse and employee engagement survey results

Create an open group for sharing all information on pulse and employee engagement surveys. Use the group to educate employees on the survey categories and questions and to address next steps to resolve employee pain points.

Give everyone a voice with Q&A posts and polls

3. Give everyone a voice with Q&A posts and polls

Enable cross-company dialogue with Q&A polls. Employee questions can be answered live during a Q&A broadcast or in a follow-up post by members of your leadership team.



For a more lightweight Q&A, try creating a Q&A post in a company-wide group. All members of the group will get a notification and will be able to ask questions directly on the post. Group members will also be able to upvote and downvote questions and reply to other group members.



Encourage employee feedback

4. Encourage employee feedback

Gain valuable feedback from across your organisation. Create a designated group where employees feel empowered and encouraged to share brilliant ideas and helpful criticisms.

5. Weekly Q&As with CEO

Bring distributed teams closer and encourage better internal collaboration by creating a weekly all-company Q&A hosted by your CEO. By using Workplace polls, events and Live, you can get a pulse of the company and ensure that leadership is never far from the frontline.

Every Friday, ask your employees three questions using the Workplace Surveys feature.
