Acceptable Usage Policy
To set expectations with employees, and to reduce the need for content moderation, we recommend uploading an Acceptable Usage Policy to the platform. This contains the Usage T&Cs which all users are prompted to read and accept before they can gain further access to the platform. Once logged in, they will see pre-loaded content which sets the tone for what's expected.
Accountability & Moderation
On Workvivo User's details such as their name and avatar always appear beside their posts so it is not an anonymous platform.
System admins and moderators have sight of all global, team and public space content. There is a Reported Post function which all users can use to flag any posts they deem to be violating the Acceptable Usage Policy. They can access this by clicking the three dots on any content posted.
They then will be prompted to give a short explanation.
System Administrators will receive a notification when a post has been flagged. They can review and ignore the report or delete the post if it's inappropriate or unsuitable.
