What next for Meta Workplace users?

Since the news that Meta Workplace will be phased out from 31^st of August 2025 and finally shutting down on 1^st of June 2026, many organisations are now faced with the dilemma of what next, but it raises a bigger question about what is the best internal comms platform for your business going forward?

If you asked anyone in internal comms, the wish list for a new platform would include the following:

• A way to better connect the workforce for all employees
• For everyone to have a sense of belonging and immersed in the company culture
• An easy way for employees and the business to engage with each other
• A single source of truth
• Support with the onboarding experience of new starters
• A platform that is easy to navigate, intuitive and looks good

However, what does this look like for your business? With so many different options now available, the dilemma of where to start can be daunting.

Here at Sorce, we have over 20 years’ experience of helping organisations understand their business requirements and create a solution that fits your business needs, so rather than looking at new shiny alternatives to Meta Workplace, we suggest you start by taking the time to look inwards at really understand what your business needs today and plan for the future.

When Meta Workplace launched in October 2016, your business was at a place where Workplace was the right solution for you. The familiarity of functionality and social elements was a big pull for many.

However, 8 years on, a global pandemic, the rise of AI and changing workplace trends later, may mean your business needs have evolved and Meta Workplace’s ending could be a golden opportunity for you to create a new and improved internal comms platform.

There are many different options available but with a robust understanding of what you are trying to achieve, making decisions about the type of software will be much easier.

Internal communications apps and intranets have long been used interchangeably and have been defined by their end user audiences and breadth and depth of functionality.

Today’s modern intranets, have been redefined to create a consistent, engaging experience wherever and however your employees access them.

This can all help narrow your search down in terms of what you are looking for.

Juggl Connect is a mobile first internal communications app, created to bring together your deskless workforce, wherever they are.
