Facebook hopes to make it easier to get work done within Workplace via new productivity features some natively built, others from third parties and other changes it has in mind this year for Workplace, its enterprise social network.
The Workplace platform, which jettisoned its free tier last month, had grown to 5 million paid users as of last May, including a roster of enterprise customers such as Nestle and Walmart in the four-and-a-half years since its launch.

Like many SaaS-based collaboration software vendors, Workplace saw a large uptick in users in 2020 as teams worldwide shifted to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic. With many businesses eyeing “hybrid” remote-work strategies this year, keeping customers connected via the platform’s video and messaging tools continues to be a priority, according to Ujjwal Singh, head of product at Workplace.
