As an admin or owner, there will be times where you need to post company news, team updates, share information, etc. to employees within your organisation. In these scenarios, sending an announcement out to employees is a good way to convey this information out in a timely way.
The Announcements feature on the mobile company feed allows you to post a public message to either a team or the whole organisation informing them of the latest news. You can also use this feature to comment on an announcement made by yourself or another admin, and if you made the comment, edit or delete this information if needed.
Important
You will need to set up your profile on the Employment Hero website before downloading the application. Once you have created your profile, you can access Work through the Swag app.
Warning
Please note that your posts, shoutouts, and company feed announcements do not auto-save during the creation process, and you will need to re-type your post or announcement if you quit this page without posting your message.

Further information
Here is what a shout out and recognition mean:
- Shout out - You can give a shout out to someone who did well on work that is within their usual scope. For example, say, an employee produced excellent output for a deliverable that falls within their job role. Note that your organisation cannot attach monetary rewards to shout outs.
- Recognition - You can give recognition to someone who did something above and beyond what is expected of them. On the Swag app, each recognition has to be attached to one of the company values set up by your organisation. The company can also assign a Hero Points value for each recognition.
