Workplace is an online collaborative software tool developed by Meta Platforms. It facilitates online groupwork, instant messaging, video conferencing, and news sharing.
History
Workplace was first announced on January 14, 2015.[1] It launched in beta as Facebook at Work before officially launching in October 2016.[2][better source needed] Free accounts were discontinued as of February 2021.[citation needed]
Workplace and Facebook
 | This section needs additional citations for verification. (August 2021) |
While Workplace accounts are set up and run separately[3] from Facebook accounts, Workplace uses much of the underlying technology that powers Facebook.
Workplace data is stored across 12 Facebook-owned and operated data centers.[4]
Workplace uses machine learning to rank information in a user's news feed and make recommendations, while 'downranking' less relevant information.[5]
In October 2018, Workplace announced the launch[6] of Safety Check. Originally developed by Facebook engineers after the 2011 Japanese tsunami, Safety Check for Workplace allows organizations to identify employees who may be affected by a crisis and send and monitor responses. Safety Check has been used by Delta Air Lines (during Hurricane Florence and the Hokkaido earthquake).[citation needed]
Reception
Workplace has an aggregated rating of 4 stars on both G2[7] and Gartner Peer Insights.[8] It has been praised as a tool for internal communication[9] and collaboration, but critics have noted that it lacks some project management functionality.[10]
Customers
Workplace is used by over 30,000 organizations. As of May 2021, there are 7 million paying users,[11] however the total number of users, both paid and unpaid, have not been disclosed to the public.
Workplace for Good
Workplace for Good was launched in June 2018 to provide a free version of Workplace for registered non-profits and staff of educational institutions.
Integrations
Workplace integrations are available with common SaaS tools such as Jira, SharePoint, ServiceNow, Adobe Sign, SurveyMonkey, Google Drive, Zoom and Dropbox.[12]
