Organisation groups can be used broadly: from internal department groups to social groups employees set up themselves. Below are a few practical examples. For the details on how to create and configure a group, see Organization Groups and New: (Semi-)Public organisationgroups.
Internal communication and departments
Location managers: a group specifically for the managers of your locations, to share operational alignment and decisions without involving the rest of the organisation.
Social media / marketing: share content, calendars or campaigns with the colleagues who communicate about them.
Company news: a central place for news that's relevant to the whole organisation.
⚠️ Note: (semi-)public groups can only be found through 'Explore groups', which makes them easy to miss. Actively promoting them, for example by linking to them directly in a timeline post or newsletter, helps get them noticed.
Social and informal initiatives
Not every group has to be tied to work. Social groups are often where colleagues connect across departments and locations, and they can be a strong driver of engagement, sometimes even more than work-related groups. Setting one up is a low-effort way to strengthen culture and give employees a place to organise the things they care about themselves.
Coffee talk: an informal, social group where employees can chat with each other outside of work topics.
Padel club: a sporty, social group for employees who want to play padel together. With 'Public with approval', the person who started the group approves new members themselves, as moderator.
Party committee: the group where company parties and outings are organised, from planning to gathering ideas from colleagues.
Works council: a group for employees who are part of the works council, to share council matters, agendas and updates with each other.
Because these groups are usually set up and run by employees rather than the organisation admin, 'Public with approval' works especially well here: the initiator becomes moderator and manages membership themselves, without the organisation admin needing to be involved every time.
