Upcoming changes to Facebook Workplace in 2025

Network News - 9 May 2025

As we've previously shared with you, Facebook parent company Meta is retiring Facebook Workplace. We've now selected a replacement platform that closely mirrors Workplace’s functionality, offers a smooth transition with minimal disruption, and aligns with Meta’s timetable.

You should find the new platform familiar and easy to use and we’re aiming to go live with it in late June.

To begin with, we’ll simplify the number of groups to keep things clear and manageable. We’ll listen to feedback from the Healthwatch network and can adjust these groups as needed. Importantly, all content from the past two years on Workplace will be carried over, so you’ll still be able to refer to previous discussions.

We’re also working to make it easier for you to access Healthwatch England policy updates and to ask questions or message others quickly and easily.

There’s no action needed from you just yet and no need to request a WorkVivo login.

We’ll be in touch soon with details on how to access the new platform. Before launch, we’ll offer several opportunities to preview the platform and share your thoughts. Once live, a dedicated user area will be available where you can ask queries and give feedback directly.

In the meantime, please continue to submit requests for new Workplace accounts via this short form: Tell us if you would like access to Workplace? | Healthwatch Network
