News channels are often used as a bulletin board (often called a colorful board) or marketplace where all employees can share, for example, carpooling opportunities, birthday cake, etc. Suggestion subscriptions are usually issued for such news channels, so that they can be unsubscribed if necessary or at least the notifications can be switched off. A few customers do not have a default subscription for their bulletin board due to fear of too many or unpleasant contributions, so that you have to actively look at the news channel to read the posts (or subscribe to the news channel first). So that the news channel is at least a bit more prominent and not completely lost, it is then usually linked as an app tile on the home screen. However, our recommendation is to award a suggestion subscription for the bulletin board, for example, as the problem of too much content has so far occurred extremely rarely in practice — rather the opposite is the case. In this context, bulletin boards and marketplaces often make a positive contribution to the general use of the systems, as

• ... they remove the hurdle to use due to their informal and low-threshold character: everyone can and can participate, and not every post has to be written pompously and provided with a glossy image
• ... they are the only way to participate or post in restrictively configured systems (if the writing rights for the remaining news channels are limited accordingly)
• ... their use case is at least as interesting and relevant for many employees as the company news, as 87% of employees have little or no commitment to their company (Source: Gallup Institute)

In summary, we can therefore only recommend bulletin boards and marketplaces: they make the digital working environment friendlier and more lively — and can be unsubscribed at any time with just one click, as long as employees are not interested.
