Employee Forums delivers Communities features to the Employee Center Pro portal to help employees connect, engage, and collaborate with other employees. Use Employee Forums to share business information, promote employee engagement, encourage ideas and feedback, and to give your employees a voice.

Employee Forums enhances employee self-service by providing access to Communities through an out-of-the-box menu item, which takes users to the community where they can post, view, and subscribe to topics.

The Communities plugin includes an out-of-the-box menu item for employee forums

Employee Forums integrate with campaigns and content publishing so that:
  • Content managers can create and schedule content to a forum or topic from Content Publishing.
  • Campaign managers can build campaigns that include forum content. Community or forum content can include blog posts, events, videos, or links to posts or other content.

Before content managers can use Employee Forums, an admin must first configure Communities, including forums and topics. These features serve as publishing destinations for managers creating content via Content Publishing. For information on communities, see Communities.

Note: If Employee Center Pro and Communities are installed, Employee Forums is added to the menu automatically. For custom menus, you can add a link as needed.
