In 2017, Facebook launched the Workplace. Since then, the Workplace has used modern social media network to dominate the world of business. The Workplace is a new technological tool that creates a business base collaboration tool that takes communication in the workplace to the next level.
The Workplace eliminates confusion by providing a page (similar to a page on Facebook) for employers and coworkers to come together and communicate effectively and collaborate on ideas. Employers often stress that their employees will miss information or unintentionally sending a communication to the wrong person at work. Research shows that 56% of employees have miscommunicated in the office. With Workplace, the percentage of employees miscommunicating information can easily be reduced significantly because employers have the ability to publish documents, announcements, notes, and messages from meetings or events and allows employees to respond to the posted information as well. This creates a more accessible and accurate information instead of translating the information by word of mouth. Other work place technology like the Homebase app, only allows employers to post information to their employees in the form of a schedule. Homebase does not allow for employers to post any other forms of documents on the app and the communication is limited to direct messages. By not accessing files and creating direct lines of open communication leads to missed information and miscommunication between employees and employers.
Employers and employees in all fields can benefit from the Workplace. For example, the business industry benefits by collaborating on business proposals, the healthcare field can send schedules to staff by a simple push of a button, and educators can forward lesson plans and documents between colleagues for feedback before teaching a lesson to students. The Workplace is simple for everyone to access and use. No more lugging a heavy laptop around to accomplish work or spending countless minutes looking for Wi-Fi to be able to access information because the Workplace app is accessible on mobile devices, courteously of Facebook. How convenient!
The Workplace app allows employers to create and publish documents such as, work schedules, weekly updates meeting notes, share important files, and much more right at your fingertips. Employers will no longer hear “I can’t recall the information from the meeting, I think it was this...” or “No one shared that document with me.”. Because the Workplace notifies individuals when a post is created instantly and creates an open line of communication from employers and employees that other work place technology can do. Workplace is super convenient for all participants and can be accessed anywhere at any time from the app. No more miscommunication in the work place!
