Want to understand how Workplace Groups can help you and your employees to better connect and collaborate? Then you’ve come to the right place! In this blog, we’re going to talk all about Workplace Groups and help you understand how to utilize them in your organization!
Before we get into what you can use Workplace Groups for, let’s talk about the types of groups that you can build. Workplace, in fact, classifies several different types of groups:
It should also be noted, that there are three privacy settings available for these groups: Open, Closed, and Secret. Open groups allow anyone from the organization to join. You can also make these open groups company-wide, so that everyone in your organization can view the posts, discuss what’s happening, and post content. Closed or Secret groups are more for collaborating on specific projects or tasks, where more privacy is required.
As the video above mentioned, Workplace Groups is the heart of Workplace by Meta, and allows your team to connect and collaborate on projects, events, and more! These are either open (everyone in the organization can see it), or closed (invitation only) groups, which provides you with a secure place to discuss projects, share documents, and manage information.
Groups can be on any topic. Here are just a few examples of the groups we use:
Simply put, Groups can be used for virtually anything, and they provide your organization with an opportunity to show off your corporate culture.
