Any suggestions? You can add tag the team member for any important updates. The team will be able to see the update and acknowledge the same by commenting on the post. For internal communications, slack works best with the Workvivo for personally messaging the team members Answered: Siddesh Deshmukh on January 27, 2025 Since workvivo is so versitile, one of the best ways to engage people is by adding content and info your team needs to know and wants to know. Example classes your company does, recordings and scripts or the classes you post. Especially the scripts you create, share them that way so you can have your members do a Q&A based on the documents or videos you posted. Good Luck!
