Culture isn’t built through posters, slogans or carefully worded value statements. It’s built through the moments employees actually remember. The teammate who publicly thanks a colleague for helping during a stressful week, the ritual that kicks off every Friday meeting, the story shared on the intranet that reminds employees their work matters. That’s why peer recognition and shared practices play such an important role in the digital workplace. They turn culture from something organizations talk about into something employees can actively experience.Many companies spend enormous effort communicating what their culture is supposed to be, but far less effort creating opportunities for employees to participate in it. There’s a difference between saying collaboration matters and creating visible ways for employees to celebrate one another’s contributions. One is messaging, the other is behavior reinforcement.Peer recognition is especially effective because it feels authentic. Employees

 ✨ Week 4: The #EXWin Showcase Hi Community! 👋We’ve spent the last three weeks sharing hacks, solving mysteries, and exploring new ideas together. For our final mission of May Mission: Boost, we’re looking at the "why." The Context At the end of the day, we use Appspace to make our workplaces better, our teams more informed, and our offices easier to navigate. We want to hear about a time when your Appspace setup made a real difference for an employee. The Challenge 🎯 Share a story or photo of an #EXWin, or Employee Experience Win, from your organization. It doesn’t have to be a massive project — sometimes the smallest win is the most impactful!Did a digital signage campaign boost event attendance? Did a Wayfinding map save a visitor from getting lost? Did a simple "Welcome" card make a new hire feel at home?How to ParticipateHead over to our Show & Tell category.

🔌 Week 3: The "Appspace + Your Tool" Showcase Hi Community! 👋Last week we kicked off the #CommunityFirst challenge and got two great questions rolling — thank you to the brave souls who jumped in first! 🙌 If you've been holding back, consider this your nudge: there are no silly questions here, and chances are someone else is wondering the exact same thing. Lurkers welcome, but posters get the gold stars. ⭐ The Context Appspace is the heart of your workplace communications, but we know it's usually hanging out with some pretty cool friends like Microsoft Teams, Slack, Webex, or Power BI. We want to know: how are you making Appspace "talk" to the rest of your tech stack? The Challenge 🎯 Share one way you've connected Appspace to your daily tools. We're looking for the most creative, time-saving, or just plain "cool" setups! How to Participate Head over to our Show & Tell section.

Somewhere in your organization, the answer already exists. It’s buried in an old Teams chat, tucked away in a SharePoint folder, attached to a long-forgotten email, or living exclusively inside the head of the one employee everyone depends on.That’s the challenge facing knowledge management in today’s intranet. Organizations aren’t struggling because they lack information. They’re struggling because employees can’t consistently find the right information at the right time. Intranets were meant to solve this problem, but instead, many have become overcrowded repositories filled with outdated documents, duplicate content, unclear ownership, and search experiences that leave employees frustrated. Over time, people stop trusting the platform entirely. Rather than searching for answers, they default to asking colleagues directly or recreating work that already exists somewhere else.The issue isn’t simply technology. It’s structure. Too often, organizations focus on adding more content witho

Week 2: Drop Your "How Do I…?" Question 🙋 Hi Community! 👋 Last week's #HindsightHacks gave us a small but mighty haul — four solid tips dropped into the thread. Quality over quantity, right? (Full transparency: my like button got a real workout last week — turns out I was the lone cheerleader over there. So an extra big thank you to the four of you who shared!) This Week's Mission: #CommunityFirst 🎯 We're officially declaring a Judgment-Free Zone. Whether you're trying to figure out a complex trigger or just can't find where a specific button moved — this mission is for you.

Engagement gets talked about like it’s some elusive spark - something you either have or you don’t. In reality, it’s far less mysterious than that. Engagement on your intranet isn’t magic, it’s intentional. More often than not, it’s shaped by small, deliberate choices that either invite people in or quietly push them away.The mistake many teams make is aiming for a big bang moment: a major launch, a shiny new feature, a campaign that’s meant to “fix” engagement overnight. Those moments have their place, but they rarely stick on their own. What actually moves the needle are the subtle, consistent signals that tell people, “this space is for you, and it’s worth your time.”That can be as simple as how content is framed. A headline that speaks like a human instead of a policy document. A post that asks a question instead of just broadcasting information. A quick reaction or comment from a leader that shows someone is actually listening. These aren’t heavy lifts, but they shift the tone fro

🛰️ Week 4: Appspace in the Wild Hi Community!We’ve made it to the final week of our April Connection Series! 🎡 So far, we've met some adorable office "supervisors," solved the mystery of the glowing red room panels, and learned that meeting room names are a puzzle for another day.  Even when we're deep in the technical weeds, there's still room for a laugh around here.For our last April challenge, we’re bringing Appspace home with us. 🏠 The Context We spend our workdays booking desks, managing signage, and scheduling rooms. But let’s be real—sometimes the "domestic front line" needs some logistics management, too. 🚨 The Challenge If Appspace existed in your personal life, where would you install it? Imagine the peace and quiet if your home life had a "Status Board" or a "Waitlist"! Tell us your most ridiculous (or surprisingly useful) at-home use case:A Space Reservation panel for the bathroom door? 🛁 A Waitlist panel for the TV remote during prime time? 📺 A Content Card on the w

🎭 Week 3: The Meeting Room Name Awards Last week, we uncovered the truth about the "Red Light" — turns out it's equal parts nap room, seafood biohazard containment zone, and industrial-scale origami tournament. 📄🏎️ This week, we're looking at the labels on the doors! One of the best ways to inject personality into an office is through room names. We all spend a lot of time booking spaces, and let's be honest: it's way more exciting to book a 30-minute sync in "The Batcave" than in "Conference Room 3B." 🦇 🗺️ The Context Whether your office uses movie themes, local landmarks, or just plain weird puns, we want to hear about it! 🏆 The Challenge What is the funniest, weirdest, or most unexpected meeting room name you've ever seen in an Appspace directory? 💡 The "I Wish" Alternative If you're working remotely, let's get creative: If you could rename just one room in your office—or even a room in your own house—to better reflect what actually happens there, what would you name it and w

Collaboration isn’t chaos. It only feels that way when nothing is holding it together.In many organizations, the intranet becomes a catch-all for teamwork. Channels multiply, conversations scatter, and files drift across tools. The intent is good, but without structure, collaboration turns into friction. Not because people don’t want to work together, but because they don’t know where or how to do it effectively.When collaboration is treated as a true pillar of the digital workplace - alongside communication, knowledge management, and culture & engagement - it becomes far more deliberate. The intranet shifts from being just another place to “check” into a space that anchors how work actually happens. Teams aren’t chasing updates or duplicating effort, they’re moving within a shared rhythm. You see it in the small moments. A project space that already has the right people, context, and resources in place, or a conversation that leads directly to a decision without needing to be reca

Part 2: The Mystery Behind the Red Door 🛑The April Connection is all about pulling back the curtain on our daily work lives. After meeting our "home office consultants" (pets and coffee pots) last week, we’re heading back into the office for a closer look at a workspace staple: The Room Panel.What’s in a Glow?We all know the Appspace shorthand: Green means go; Red means busy. But for those of us working remotely—or passing by in the hall—that red light is a total "black box" of mystery. We think it deserves a much more interesting backstory. 🏆 The Challenge: Wrong Answers OnlyForget the calendar invites. We want your most absurd, wildly inaccurate theories: When that room panel turns red, what is actually happening inside?Need a spark?🎤 An intense karaoke battle for the last everything bagel. 🧘 The office chairs are holding their weekly support group meeting. 🌱 A secret strategy session for the office plants to plan their next growth spurt.My Take: "It’s a secret company-wide nap-

🐾 Week 1: The "Real Life" DirectoryHi Community!We all spend our days diving deep into the technical side of Appspace—building cards, managing schedules, and optimizing our workspaces. But as we head into April, we wanted to hit the "pause" button on the serious stuff and have a little fun together.Every week this month, I’ll be dropping a new, lighthearted challenge right here in the community. No support tickets, no complex configurations, and definitely no "wrong" answers. Just a chance for us to get to know the humans behind the screens and share a few laughs along the way.To kick things off, we’re starting with a look at the "team" that actually keeps us going every day...The Context: In our official Appspace Employee Directory, our profile pictures are polished and professional. But when we’re working from home or tucked away in our offices, our "real-life" coworkers look a little bit different.The Challenge: Post a photo in the comments of your "Productivity Consultant." Whethe

The air at the Andaz 5th Avenue was charged with anticipation on March 19 as the inaugural event in our Workplace Experience Masterclass series officially kicked off. Set against the backdrop of one of New York City’s most elegant venues, the day unfolded as a deep dive into the evolving world of communications, the intranet, and the pursuit of a truly unified workplace. With a remarkable attendance rate from a diverse group of registrants, the room was filled with leaders eager to bridge the gap between their people and their technology.Throughout the day, the agenda was anchored by expert-led sessions that explored the intersection of digital strategy and employee engagement. A particular highlight was a customer-led perspective from a global leader at The Walt Disney Company, which grounded the day’s strategic themes in real-world application. This balance of high-level vision and practical demo experiences allowed attendees to see exactly how modern workplace solutions come to life

We’ve all felt it - that creeping sense that your inbox isn’t a communication tool anymore, it’s a never-ending stream. Updates, announcements, reminders, “just circling back” nudges… all arriving with equal urgency, all competing for attention. And the result? People skim, ignore, or mentally check out altogether.The irony is, most of these emails are sent with good intent. Teams want to keep people informed. Leaders want visibility. Comms wants reach. But when everything is pushed into the inbox, nothing really lands.This is where your intranet needs to step in and do what it was designed to do. Instead of treating email as the primary channel for every update, think of it as a signpost, not the destination. The intranet becomes the place where information lives, evolves, and connects. Email simply points people there when it matters. That shift alone starts to ease the pressure. Because not every update deserves a direct line into someone’s day.When updates are published in a centra
