Workstars TV

The Workstars TV add-on allows you to display the 10 most recent wall entries on any screen in your office or in your own system (e.g. Intranet, HR system, etc.). It’s an easy way to promote your recognitions and share activity with your employees (especially if they are not "desk based", e.g. warehouse/factory workers).

Example of how it would look on a screen:

FAQs

Why can't I see new posts immediately?

This is because we cache the response for 15 minutes to help with performance.

Why is the Workstars TV feed not showing any recognitions?  I only see a black screen with white instructions along the bottom.

Possible cause is multiple CEOs (employees with no manager assigned) in your hierarchy.  Remove any extra CEOs and feed will resume.  There can only be one person at top of hierarchy reporting to no one.
