Use of Workplace from Meta enables two-way communication, as well as collaboration across departments and locations. The flow of information is faster, collaboration easier and conversations occur more often. Silos are broken down and the sense of community is strengthened.
The digital platform is accessible from both mobile and desktop. Most employees are already familiar with common Meta features such as chat, groups, video calls and the newsfeed, which makes Workplace easy to adapt. A significant difference is that Workplace is the company's own private forum. It is an IT tool that contributes to both culture building and value creation.
Which companies are using Workplace?
Workplace is built for organizations that wish to achieve two-way communication and internal collaboration within a digital hybrid working day. It is particularly useful for large and medium-sized enterprises with large numbers of employees – who are often situated at different locations or do not have a typical office job.
It is also a popular platform for smaller companies, such as Cloudworks, that wish to strengthen internal communication. Upon establishment of our company, we wanted to rule out emails for internal use and instead introduce a social communication tool to enhance cooperation and cohesion.

Today, Workplace is used by all types of organizations; public sector, municipalities, tech companies, start-ups and private organizations.
Why implement Workplace?
There are numerous reasons why you should use Workplace from Meta. The tool enhances motivation and engagement among employees, both professionally and socially. Management appears more visible, the organization becomes more transparent and it gives everyone a voice. Workplace provides an organizational overview and easy access to all parts of the company.
→ Motivation and sense of belonging
A social communication tool enhances internal commitment and employees can connect with colleagues they might not otherwise talk to. It makes it easier to stay up to date and the exchange of knowledge is increased. Use of the tool strengthens motivation and the sense of belonging.
→ User-friendly
Workplace is a user-friendly tool that most people adapt quickly. However, it is important to design a thorough plan for how the tool should be used internally, and that this is clearly communicated to all employees.
→ Easy access
Within the Workplace it is easy to communicate with one another, regardless of departments, professional groups, hierarchies and geographical distance. The tool helps to break down the barriers to reach out and ask for input or help.
→ Integration with existing tools
Workplace connects with other IT tools used by the company, such as Microsoft 365, Dropbox and Google Disk. The integration makes it easier to share documents and collaborate, all within one platform.
→ Collaborate with other companies in the tool
Do you work with an external team in another company that also uses Workplace? Then you will have the opportunity to create a joint group where you can collaborate and communicate. The threshold for contact is lowered, unnecessary email correspondence is removed, and collaboration becomes more efficient.
→ Separated from your private Meta profile
Hesitant to use Meta at work? Your private Meta profile has nothing to do with Workplace. You will get your own separate user for the platform.
Workplace builds a professional and social community that connects all employees closer to both the company and to each other. Within Workplace, every employee is engaged, socialized and motivated. It becomes a natural digital point of contact and an important link between everyone in the company. The tool contributes to more openness and cross-disciplinary cooperation. Value creation can flourish and culture building is enhanced.
