How to use the Newsfeed to post recognitions or announcements to your company.
Functionalities of the Newsfeed
In the center of the Newsfeed page, you will find the post composer and the main feed. This is where all participants can take the following actions:
Posting on the Newsfeed
On the Applauz Newsfeed, you can create two types of posts:
- Recognition posts
- Announcement posts
At the top of the post composer, you’ll see both options.
Click on Recognition if you’re offering official recognition, and click on Post if you simply wish to make an announcement.
Announcements Posts
Keep your workforce informed of important events and updates by posting an announcement post to the Newsfeed.
Every participant has permission to create a new announcement post. The post can be sent to the entire company or targeted to specific Departments or Teams.
You have the option to send an automatic notification to the selected participants by email. Otherwise, the participants will see the post at the top of their feed the next time they sign into Applauz.
Note: If needed, you can edit a post (within a 5-minute limit) or delete your posts at any time.
Employee Recognition Posts
Recognition posts are the driving force of your Recognition Program.
That's why every program participant has permission and should be encouraged to offer regular recognition to their peers.
With the post composer, you can offer official recognition to a particular Employee, or to specific Departments, or Teams.
Applauz Points or Badges can be added to a recognition post to boost the impact of the message.
Note: Recognition Posts are distinguished with a teal-coloured bar.
Adding media to a recognition or announcement post
When creating a new post on the Newsfeed, whether it's for recognition or an announcement, you can add multiple types of media to enhance the post.
