After shutting down Google+, Google has unveiled Currents, a G Suite app that enables people to have meaningful discussions and interactions across your organisation, helping keep everyone in the know and giving leaders the opportunity to connect with their employees.
According to the company, Currents comes with a new set of features, look and feel as well. Notably, the existing Google+ content will automatically transfer to Currents once enrolled in beta.
At present, Currents is in beta and G Suite companies can request access to the program starting now. As per the official blog, “Once a user posts, others can comment, give feedback, and ask questions all in the same place.”
Currents also give leaders a way to engage with their employees more directly. With this app, the content remains on Currents over time, so users can revisit and engage at a later date. Additionally, admins can measure engagement across the platform with metrics to track usage and understand what content is resonating across the organisation.
To request access to the beta program for your organisation, you can email CurrentsBeta@google.com.
