Engage all employees – even those who do not have a typical office job

All employees should have access to the organization's internal communication and collaboration tools; even those without a typical office job. These are, for example, employees within retail, service, health, education, agriculture, the craft industry and the transport sector.

Meta call this employee group Workplace Frontline, and refers to them as frontline workers and deskless users.

Let your deskless workers take part in the internal dialogue

Since deskless workers often do not have their own computer for work, or they rarely work in front of one, they usually do not have access to the organization's communication and collaboration tools. Thus, they are left outside the internal digital dialogue, which can contribute to this employee group feeling less connected to the organization.

With Workplace from Meta, deskless workers will also be able to take part in the internal dialogue, and contribute to creating value for themselves, their colleagues and the entire organization.

Workplace gives the company a place for everyone to meet, regardless of location or role. The employees get a voice and the management can reach out to the entire organization.

 

Gives all employees a voice

Workplace is built like Facebook, with groups, chat, news feed, video and file sharing.

Employees can log in via a web browser or using the mobile app, and they can stay up to date and take part in the company's internal dialogue wherever they are located.

The many features of Workplace makes the management able to share information quickly and easily, also to the deskless workers. The threshold for employees to provide input and feedback is reduced using such a tool.
