Today we received an invitation from Facebook Workplace. The "new" Facebook service was announced in October 2016, but apparently the company has just started distributing invites.
Facebook Workplace allows anyone who meets the requirements to create a corporate account, separate from their personal Facebook account, since apart from different name, you can also use a different password.
With this account you can use all tools of Facebook: News Feed, Reactions, Chat, Share, Like etc. to communicate and collaborate better with your colleagues. What is shared through Facebook Workplace is only visible to other people in the same company, which is separate from company e-mail.
Facebook Workplace was reportedly created to claim a share of it market of the popular Slack platform.
Unfortunately, Workplace is not available for free (currently at least), as is the case with Facebook's individual accounts. For companies wishing to adopt the new platform, a monthly charge is foreseen.
More specifically, the Facebook Workplace prices are as follows:
Workplace Premium is free for non-profit organizations and Educational Institutions. Later, perhaps as you can see in the image below, one will be released Standard version of the app, rather with limited features that will be free.
