\nBased on a user interface that most people will be familiar with from Facebook, along with additional functionality.
\nwhich is suitable for businesses and organisations.\u201eThat
\nAlmost everyone knows how it works, and so most people should be able to take an active part from

\n\u00c1rmannsd\u00f3ttir, Communications Manager for the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. A select group of staff and managers has in recent days and weeks
\nTested the functionality and set up groups suitable for our primary schools, nurseries,
\nthe swimming pools and other facilities. The medium is therefore 100% ready to
\nfor use, and we invited all the council's staff to play this morning with
\na party in each place, respectively. <\/i>Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur is a large employer with
\nmany locations and a diverse range of projects in the fields of family affairs and education,
\nplanning, environmental, financial and administrative affairs. The Workplace medium is
\ndesigned to better connect all these policy areas and, thereby, workplaces,
\nensure that appropriate information is communicated to staff and that staff can access it themselves
\nto directly demonstrate in words and pictures the diversity that exists in
\nthe activities of the municipality.\u201eWe have about
\nfor some time, seeking a solution that makes the operation more visible and strengthens
\nthe corporate culture and makes us one workplace. We are extremely proud of
\nfor being the first Icelandic municipality to implement Workplace. Facebook
\nIt pushed us ahead of a long queue of businesses, so that they thought something was wrong.
\nExciting to get the local council on board.\u201c<\/i> says \u00c1rd\u00eds at last.<\/p>\n
