Workvivo Spaces are micro-communities that enable employees to interact and collaborate across locations and departments. Some even refer to spaces as a 'Workvivo within a Workvivo'!
A space is a great way to centralise related information, updates, docs and news for easier discovery and reference at a later date.
Once you are a member of a space, any content published to that space will appear in your main activity feed, providing a highly personal experience. You may be a member of some spaces by default based on your department, skillset, location, or involvement in particular initiatives or projects. If there are other spaces of interest or relevance to you, you can join those spaces.
There are different types of spaces. Read on to learn more.
Space Type: Corporate Spaces
Corporate Spaces are spaces that leadership have chosen to promote. They have relevance across the organization or across numerous functions. These are typically set up with auto-enrolment settings for the entire organization or for different teams so that many people are automatically a member.
Corporate Spaces are always Public so that everyone can see content and join if they wish.
Space Type: Community Spaces
Community Spaces are micro-communities or interest groups that can be public or private.
Public Space: A Public Space is where any user can view the content of a Public space without being a member
Private Space: In a Private space a user must be a member before they can view its content. To become a member, they must be invited to join the space or request access from the Space Owner
Hidden Space: Only Admins, Space Managers, members and those who have been invited to the space will see this space in the Spaces section.
Typically, any user can create a Community space and set is as Public or Private. Hidden spaces can only be created by Administrators or Space Managers.
Roles & Permissions for Creating Spaces
- Administrator: Can create Corporate, Community, Public, Private and Hidden Spaces
