You can now Facebook at Work



Well, it's not like you weren't already Facebooking at work, the difference is now you don't have to swiftly minimize your web browser when your supervisor walks in.

Yesterday Facebook released Workplace by Facebook, a service designed for internal business communication. Just like the Facebook you've come to love as a medium to connect with family and friends, Workplace offers group, messenger chats, trending posts, videos  and Facebook live. So now your CEO can address the entire company via Facebook live.


Facebook announced there are already over 1000 companies using the service around the world but getting it will cost your company as high as $3 per user for companies with less that 1000 users and $1 per user for organizations with over 10,000 users but is free for educational institutions and non-profits.

Workplace accounts are separate will be from your personal Facebook accounts so try to keep things professional and know when to draw the line with sharing the inappropriate memes.  Maybe Workplace would make  the internal communications process within organizations more fun and organizations would have improved employee engagement. We would have to wait and see.
