Feed Overview
The Feed is Wazo's centralized activity stream: a dynamic, social-media-like space where employees can view, post, and interact with real-time updates across the organization. It includes shoutouts, peer recognition, team wins, wellness updates, milestone celebrations, and more. The Feed is accessible to all users and serves as a transparent window into the ongoing pulse of the company. Built with principles from Social Identity Theory and a strong focus on belonging, the Feed is designed to make everyone feel seen, valued, and part of something bigger than their individual role.
User Guide
The Feed Page is the heart of user engagement within Wazo. It acts as a live dashboard of recognitions, updates, and achievements that foster a culture of visibility, appreciation, and motivation across the organization.
How it Helps

Use Case
Recognition in a Remote Team
Imagine a marketing executive in a remote-first organization completing a major campaign. Her manager posts a shoutout on the Feed highlighting the impact of her work. Team members across different time zones react with comments and emojis, creating a ripple of encouragement. Another department sees the post and sparks a cross-functional collaboration idea in the comments.
Impact
For Employees: They feel recognized, connected, and motivated. Seeing peer success and appreciation helps individuals feel part of the company culture, reducing isolation.
For the Organization: Enhanced transparency and peer engagement fuel a stronger, more aligned culture. Over time, this improves retention, productivity, and internal collaboration — key drivers for a healthier balance sheet.
