Announcements

What it is

Announcements are short news posts from your CSR team to everyone in the company. Each has a title and a message. Employees see the latest three on their home screen under News from your CSR team, with pinned posts first.

Use them to launch a campaign, thank volunteers after a big day or explain a policy such as volunteer leave. For a longer piece with a photo about what an activity achieved, write an impact story instead. To invite people to one specific activity by email and WhatsApp, use Announce to employees on the activity page.

What you can use it for

• Launch a Daan Utsav or Independence Day campaign and point people to its activities
• Thank volunteers and remind others to rate the activity they attended
• Pin an important notice, such as volunteer leave rules, to the top
• Email a major update to all employees at the same time as posting it
