Since your entire organization will be added to this group, it's important to manage it effectively, and that shouldn't be a one-person job. Make other members of your internal communication or HR teams group admins so they can help you manage discussions and share posts. Learn how in the Help Center.
Control posting permissionsControl posting permissions
Your official group will be the primary place you'll be sharing important updates with the whole company. To make sure that only the most important messages are posted, you can control posting permissins in a few ways:
- Anyone: Everyone sees the post composer box and their post automatically goes into the group
- Admins only: Only admins can post to the group. Others won't see the composer box
- Posting approval: Everyone sees the composer box and can submit posts however they will only be visible in the group if approved by an Admin/Moderator
Learn more about all the setting group admins can apply in the Workplace Help Center.
Mark critical posts as importantMark critical posts as important
For your most important company updates, use Mark as Important. When you mark a post as important, all group members will receive a Workplace notification and an optional email notification. The post will appear at the top of the News Feed for a set number of days and employees will be asked to acknowledge they've read the post with the click of a button. Learn more about Mark as Imprortant by watchnig the video below.
