Episode 13: Facebook, Oxfam and “Digital Leapfrogging”




Digital Workplace Impact show

Summary: Today, it is easier than ever to connect digitally with others around the world. Within the workplace, for those who sit in front of a computer, this is a straightforward task. However, how can the millions of employees who don’t sit at desks connect digitally with the rest of the organization? Workplace by Facebook launched with a mission to connect the previously unconnected. VP, Julien Codorniou, explains how its new platform has been able to successfully connect factory workers, holiday reps and baristas with the wider business. Oxfam America’s Neal McCarthy speaks from the user perspective to tell us how they are using Workplace by Facebook to transform the way they share information, and how these learnings are being used to help Oxfam reach the very people it’s trying to help.
