Allowing employees to post on the company feed or within specific topic threads can significantly enhance engagement and accountability. It essentially allows users to post updates on the feed! This enables employees to share experiences, insights, and updates directly with their colleagues, fostering collaboration and connection. For example, they might share updates about road closures, photos from company events, client interaction highlights, helpful tips, and more. This open communication not only builds a stronger sense of belonging but also empowers employees to share knowledge freely without needing their manager's help, ultimately promoting a more dynamic and connected workplace culture.

In this article we will go over:

To set up user posts or user updates navigate to the Updates feature and click on Settings. Enter the User Posts Tab and make sure the 'allow selected users to share posts' is toggled on.

Now it's time to set your limitations and settings on what users can post, on what topics, and who can see those posts. Let's begin.

Here you can decide which users can share posts. It can be groups of employees such as just the field managers, individual employees, or specific employees and groups.

Use the drop-down to make your selection. Note that by default all user groups will be selected.

If you have set up feed topics, here you can limit using to posting only on specific feeds. For example, maybe you want them to post only in company news and not in the HR Annocument feed. To limit user posts to a specific feed make sure you have this box checked and you select the feeds users can post on.

Here you decide who can see a post made by users. You can select all users or only you can choose the options users with the same, and set a criteria based on one of the user profile fields. For example, location, department, direct manager, etc.

In the example below you can see that I only allow users from the same branch to see each other's posts.

Please note that only owners can edit the update setting including the user posts.

User posts looked the same as any other post you see on your feed. Take a look at a post made by a user below.

On the employee's end, the posting experience will be similar to posting on Facebook. They will see a bar inside the feed or feed topics they are allowed to post where they can simply start typing, design their post, and start posting.

As an admin, you might want to gain further insights into how many user posts there are, who is posting,g and how engaged other employees are with these posts. This can all be done from the updates dashboard.

Navigate to the updates feature, to see posts just users use the filter in the upper right-hand corner to filter for user type and select user.
