Company newsfeed and broadcast announcements

Use team chat channels or broadcast messages to share company-wide announcements, policy updates, and important notices with all staff. Create an "Announcements" channel where only managers can post, ensuring critical information reaches everyone. Staff receive instant notifications on mobile and can view messages anytime.

Create site or position-specific chat channels to send targeted messages to relevant teams only. For example, create separate channels for each location or department, then post announcements that only affect those groups. This reduces noise and ensures the right people see the right information.

When posting important announcements in chat channels, staff receive push notifications on mobile devices automatically. Encourage staff to enable notifications for critical channels like "Announcements" or "Important Updates" so they never miss time-sensitive information. Configure notification settings to balance urgency with notification fatigue.

Use chat read receipts to see which team members have viewed messages in channels or direct messages. When sending critical announcements, follow up with staff who haven't read the message yet to ensure compliance. Read tracking helps confirm everyone received important policy updates or schedule changes.
