Add apps to the Employee Network

We are creating a master “intranet” workspace that provides a natural home for the company with a company-wide blog, a “good news” app, training documents, policies and procedures, ideas and all sorts of other apps to create a sense of unity.

Yet, the framework for this already exists with the Employee Network. If we could add apps to the Employee network it would save us from creating an extra workspace and allow us to have a true central space for the entire company to convene.

  I just had a thought I wanted to add. I could see how Podio might be set up this way for reasons due to billing and the desire for a free employee network. If people want to use workspaces with apps they need to pay for it. Perhaps a way around this would be to charge people for the employee network if they add apps to it.

  Hey Chris,

  You're right - the current limitation is indeed the pricing model as this is based on a free employee network with all employees automatically joining via an email domain. There is a bit of complexity to adding this solution such as a change in billing, pricing, privacy of the data in the apps etc.

  Thanks for sharing your idea! We have it listed :)

  Cheers,
  Sara - Podio

  Any news on this Sara? We have exactly the same situation and have had to set up an Employee network and an Employee workspace with company-wide apps in it - clumsy having two places!

  Hey Matt,

  No news I'm afraid. We're currently looking to improve the functionality around apps, views, workflows etc. So this is not within the short-term roadmap.

  Cheers,
  Sara - Podio

  Hi Sara,

  Any update on this? I agree with Chris on his suggestion as it seems redundant and confusing to our users to have this "Employee Network" and then another area that also has everyone in it and contains intranet type items.
