TechSoup New Zealand will be supporting Facebook’s three-stop Workplace for Good Roadshow, which stops off in Auckland on Tuesday 7 August. 

The Workplace for Good Roadshow demonstrates how organisations like Save the Children, Unicef and Comic Relief have changed the way they work through the platform, which is free for registered non-profits and educational staff.

The first roadshow event takes place in Sydney on Thursday 2 August, before heading to Melbourne on Friday 3 August, and finishing in Auckland on Tuesday 7 August.

The Workplace platform increases the capability of organisations by bringing next-generation technology to field workers with mobile apps, providing secure collaborative spaces, integrating existing intranet and file-sharing tools, and facilitating 'FYI' groups and Live video for organisation-wide announcements. 

Roadshow attendees will also have the opportunity to discover some of the latest tips and examples of how organisations are using Facebook to improve their fundraising and digital storytelling.

TechSoup New Zealand's Acting Chief Executive Officer Sandra Vallance said the Workplace platform provided an array of functions and opportunities that might otherwise not be available to not-for-profits and which could increase their impact.

“Through our support for Facebook’s Workplace platform, TechSoup New Zealand is helping to increase the digital capability and life-changing impact of our sector,” said Vallance.

“We are excited to be joining our fellow not-for-profits at the Workplace for Good Roadshow and looking forward to learning from the experiences of organisations currently using the platform.”

Global Head of Workplace for Good, Annette Gevaert, will be in New Zealand for the Auckland event

She said Facebook was proud to be able to donate work tools to support the important work of New Zealand charities and educational organisations to achieve their missions.

“At Workplace for Good we believe the greatest work has the greatest purpose, and we are excited to have this opportunity to help teams connect, collaborate and create change in their communities.

“Ever since we launched Workplace we have been overwhelmed by the great interest and feedback from non-profits of all sizes, all around the world,” said Gevaert.

“We’re incredibly excited to be able to share that message in Auckland, which will guide organisations to get the best possible use out of the Workplace platform.”
