Company Announcements is the easy way to send important updates, news, or policy changes to employees directly through the WorkSmarter platform.

Messaging staff directly, rather than through your usual channels, means your essential workplace content won’t get lost, ignored or forgotten.

Who can Post Company Announcements?

Only users with Admin or Manager permissions can create and send announcements. If you need access, contact your system administrator.

Can I Target Announcements to Specific Teams or Locations?

Yes, when creating an announcement, you can select specific recipients such as departments, locations, or selected users to ensure the right people receive the message.

Can I Pre-Schedule my Announcements?

WorkSmarter allows you to schedule announcements in advance. When creating a new announcement, select the Schedule option and choose a future date and time.

Can I Attach Files or Links to an Announcement?

You can attach links and various file types such as PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and images.

How Will Employees be Notified of Announcements?

Employees can view announcements via:

• The WorkSmarter notification centre

• Email notifications

• Push notifications via the WorkSmarter mobile app

How can I Track if Employees Have Seen an Announcement?

WorkSmarter provides a Read Receipts feature that tracks who has viewed or acknowledged the announcement, with data and time saved for future records.

Can Employees Acknowledge or Comment on Announcements?

This feature allows managers to share specific information effectively without facilitating a dialogue, for situations where the focus should be on delivering clear and timely updates rather than managing responses.

Are Past Announcements Stored for Reference?

Yes, all announcements are stored in the Company Announcements History, where admins can review, edit, or re-use previous messages.
