If you are going to scale a mentoring program with 50+ users (mentor and mentees) you need software, to get out of the "matching" game, this is a Chronus positive. You also want an ongoing pulse on how it's going, whos looking for a mentor, and adding new users. This is very easy to do with the software.Incentivized
Well suited: - leadership communication. When our CEO posts a video to all company - it always gets the highest engagement - recognition/achievements posts - live streams for education, knowledge sharing - we are a company of 12000 associates and there is no other corporate channel for us to gather more than 500 people in one place. Less appropriate: - sharing some very targetted messages - it's impossible to do at Workplace without creating a group. So we use email channel for such targetted communications - instant communication like in a chat (probably it's less appropriate in our specific case because we use MS Teams for such quick communication instead of WP chats) Incentivized

Bring groups of people together to share info, stories, updates, etc.The chat app is pretty decent.Workplace Live is a good large-group meeting broadcast platform.It's pretty intuitive to use for anyone who's used Facebook.It provides different levels of "security" for groups, allowing you to have open, closed, and "secret" groups.It's easy to paste images into your posts and comments, without having to necessarily go through the process of saving an image as a file, etc.It has search capabilities for finding old information.It's available for both desktop/laptop and mobile devices.It's secured to allow only those within the company to see company-related info (but it also has a few inter-company groups, which can be useful, too).Workplace Chat has the ability to set it to Do Not Disturb.You can set notifications, including email notifications, if you want to be alerted to new activity in your groups, etc.You can use Markdown to format your textIncentivized
Mentoring software is only as good as we provide good internal mentors so accountably is on us to bolster the system with good mentors.When I evaluate the satisfaction of our mentees I need to hear "my mentor was great" and this is not a software result but a human result.Many of my Chronus contacts have changed over the years, sometimes I feel I know more than them.Incentivized
It would be helpful if a review confirmation checkbox was able to be placed by files that needed to be read or reviewed. Along the same line, approve, review again, etc. would be helpful checkboxes to add by files, proposals.The layout is clean but suffers a bit from the center column width with two sidebars and a lot of empty space. It almost looks like a going out of business sale retail store where you notice the empty shelves. Workplace feels a bit bare at times. I think some good design modifications can help. Now on mobile, it is a great layout. I am addressing specifically the desktop browser login.An admin control dashboard would be really effective and even more so with more users on the platform.Incentivized
Having to download multiple apps just to use the tool is very cumbersome. Facebook would have make this better by wrapping it in as a main feature within their app, but having to use multiple apps to see discussions and walls is so frustrating.Incentivized
Workplace by Facebook is an excellent fit in respect of support and documentation. It has excellent tutorials and documentation, as well. The UI and UX are already great as it is developed and maintained by Facebook, so most of the times, there is no need for any support or documentation.Incentivized
These are a "spectrum" of software options, some more sophisticated than others depending on the need. There is no 1 and done tool, so we use a few. Some are for all EEs, some are for 100s, and some are for 10s of EEs. Chronus works well for our mentoring need their value is good. The most recent similar tool I evaluated is MentorEase. MentorEase seems to do much of the same at a lower price but I did not like the UI nor was the rep easy to understand. MentorEase may be good to match up new EEs with a "buddy". Chronus is more powerful we match on more sophisticated attributes.Incentivized
Workplace by Facebook is so much more than just a project management tool like Basecamp or Slack. The ability to disseminate information to employees is easier and better with Workplace by Facebook. It can also be used for informal messaging and sharing of information. It combines the best features of both with the same look and feel as Facebook.Incentivized
