In a recent blog post, Facebook unveiled a number of new features for the company’s Workplace platform to enhance the employee experience and virtual collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Workplace is Facebook’s communication tool that connects Facebook’s employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
New features include third-party integrations to synchronize events and calendars, live question and answer experiences, and capabilities focused on supporting diversity and inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Facebook, “These enhancements will make sure that every employee has the opportunity to feel seen and heard by leadership and help people gain a better understanding of how their role contributes to the broader company strategy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an interview with Tech Republic, Head of Product at Workplace, Ujjwal Singh explained what these new features will entail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He noted, “For me as a presenter, I get information on the employee. I get profile information, who asked the question, what their role is, so I can personalize my answer for that particular employee. And what this leads to, what we’ve seen over and over again with customers is [that this] leads to employees feeling like they’ve been seen, heard, and leads to real connection.”<\/p>\n\n\n
