Organization groups are groups that are not specific to a community/location. Here you can share information with specific groups (or everyone) within the organization. You can think of specific groups for, for example, location managers, social media/marketing communications, coffee talk or general company news. You can also create groups per location/community, we call these community groups. Click here for an explanation of how these are created. Also, check out the video below for a tutorial on these organization groups;
💡 It is important to know that as an organization admin you see all organization groups and community groups, including their content, but you will only receive notifications in the app from them once you belong to the target group selection of a certain group (based on your function, community, language and/or name).
🆕 New: In addition to the standard settings, you can now also create (semi-)public groups. Learn more about how they work and which privacy options are available.

Creating organization groups
To create these groups, go in the organization dashboard to 'Communication' -> 'Organization groups' -> ' + 'Create organization group'.
Name the organization group, choose a cover photo, and choose a logo for this group. With adjustments you can see in the 'example' on the right what it will look like for the participants in this group;
In the next screen, you select the visibility of the organization group:
Private – Only visible to the assigned target audience.
Public – Visible to everyone in the organization. Employees can join directly.
Public with approval – Visible to everyone in the organization. Employees can send a membership request, which must be approved by a group admin or moderator.
⚠️ The chosen privacy setting cannot be changed once the group has been created. For full details about this new option, see: different organization groups options
After that, you can define the target audience. You can add entire communities (or all communities) within your organization, or create a group based on a specific function. If an employee does not fall within the selected community or function, you can also add them manually.
You then have the option to determine who can post and respond. These can be 'moderators' within your organization, but you could also choose to disable or enable comments as a whole;
Finally, you get the opportunity to (double) check this group and to make any adjustments. As soon as the group is created, every employee who is in this organization group will have the opportunity to see this specific timeline. It is also possible to arrange these groups as desired.

Community groups
In addition to organization groups, there are also community groups. These are groups that can be created specifically within a community (branch/location). Click the button below for more information about community groups and how to create them.
