Workplace from Meta Overview

What is Workplace from Meta?

Workplace is a business communication tool from Meta that helps your teams stay connected in a simple and secure way. With familiar features like Live Video and Groups, you can share information, engage your employees, build culture and connect your people anywhere, anytime. Best of all, you don't need to be an IT genius to use it. Anyone can pick it up and get started straight away. Workplace also makes it easy to integrate with all your favorite tools like Office 365, Google Workspace and ServiceNow, or you can build custom integrations to connect any other tools you rely on. Above all, you can be sure that security and privacy are at the heart of what we do - your data will always belong to you and we’ll keep all of it separate from Facebook. At Workplace, we believe that business is simply better when people feel connected… So why not join over 7M of our users worldwide?

Product Description

Workplace from Meta allows you to use Facebook tools to interact with co-workers.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Workplace by Facebook enables two-way conversations, not top-down communications, and democratizes employee culture. This gives everyone a voice, from the CEO to the newest intern, and for both desk-bound and mobile workers. Workplace builds connections between people, not org charts, reducing the distance and enhancing culture so they can work better, smarter, and faster together.

Workplace is easy to use and a highly engaging platform, because it's based on familiar Facebook features like News Feed, Groups and Chat. Unlike competitor products, Workplace can be deployed quickly, with no training required.

With Workplace you only pay for monthly active users, making long term license agreements a thing of the past.

What do you like best about Workplace from Meta?

-Collecting responses right away following the publication of a communication in two directions (comments, reactions)

-Recognition (that's where we discuss our greatest successes and colleagues are shown appreciation; for instance, it's awesome when the CEO says that your accomplishment is significant)

-A platform for innovative communication forms that will appeal to our audience (live streams, q&a, achievement posts, etc) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workplace from Meta?

- Giving immediate responses from coworkers while live streaming (we do a lot of streaming, thus, seeing an immediate response from the audience is vital). We can communicate our reactions, but not in a fashion that would allow the hosts to see them from the other side. It would be the ideal enhancement)

- When it comes to your ability to remove a comment you've made, Workplace Chat is unreliable—sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

- There was no Video Meetings Feature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workplace from Meta solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can communicate with the entire firm through our two primary routes. This is the workplace and email. With the help of our HR Marketing team, we are making every effort to place more emphasis on Workplace because it is a two-way channel as opposed to email. We welcome colleagues to express their thoughts and views (both bad or good). Additionally, we try to improve leadership communication in the workplace (TownHalls for all managers from the C-level team) in order to demonstrate to employees the advantages of this channel over others.
