You already probably use Facebook to connect with family and friends. Facebook at Work gives you the benefits of a social platform while improving communication, collaboration and productivity at work.
What is Facebook at Work?
Facebook at Work looks and feels like Facebook.com and offers similar tools such as Messenger, Search, Groups, Events and the News Feed, plus photo and video sharing. It is available on desktop, iPhone, Android and mobile web, and employees sign up with separate work accounts that are independent from personal Facebook accounts.
Easy to Use
Many companies value how intuitive Facebook at Work is. Because employees are often already familiar with Facebook, organizations usually spend less time training users than they would for a new, unfamiliar platform.
Improves Communication
Communication is faster: start a group message to get quick answers, gather feedback on a proposal within minutes, or coordinate details of a project with teammates and external collaborators.
Promotes Collaboration
For employees who telecommute or work in different offices, Facebook at Work helps build a network of colleagues and keeps distributed teams connected and engaged.
Increases Productivity
Using a work-focused social platform can reduce non-work browsing while giving a quick way to see what colleagues are doing, find inspiration and stay motivated during projects.
Requires Action
Like any social tool, Facebook at Work only delivers value if people use it. Companies may need to educate less tech-savvy staff on how to use the platform effectively.
Corporations can manage and monitor activity on Facebook at Work as part of internal policy and oversight. For businesses that need related protections, consider reviewing Book Publishers Insurance for relevant coverage information.
Facebook at Work is not the only enterprise social option; other vendors offer competing tools. If your company isn't using a dedicated work platform yet, consider getting on board to connect employees and improve cooperation, and see Book Publishing Insurance Overview for additional business resource guidance.
If you want personalized help evaluating platforms or related business products, you can ask an agent about options that fit your company.
